[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think the issue of retention and enrollment numbers is a big deal for any charter school that offers immersion language for French, Hebrew, and Chinese.

Either due to the mass third grade exodus to private and suburban schools, or due to the common movement of families in and out of D.C., children leave these schools at later grades. I do not think it is that easy to find First through Six graders at a fluency level in French, Hebrew. and Chinese to replace any that have left, also, what is the funding for half a class going to look like?

What does this have to do with residency?

The DC Public Charter Board does not permit kids who are fluent in target languages to replace those who have left charter immersion schools. This means that empty charter spots are left empty after the school's cut-off entry year (somewhere between PreK4 in Lamb's case, and second grade).
