[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Headline is a little misleading.  Last year, they had 89k enrolled by this point.  This year they have 77k.  [b]So, the difference is closer to 12k.[/b]

If this board is any indication, these kids are out of school; they just moved to the suburbs/went private/are being home schooled.

I thought it was interesting that they said the under enrollment does not significantly vary by ward.[/quote]

Yes, and of the 12,000, how much of this is parents who enrolled but didn't finish the paperwork? There aren't 12,000 missing students and the Wash Post/Perry Stein should be clearer on which portion are really kids who aren't in school or kids who are just missing a part of their paperwork since DC requires re-enrollment and proving residency every year.

Geez, simplify the registration process for families without Internet access, devices and tech savvy. Aggressively reach out to these families, DCPS, DCPCS and OSSE.  Right now. [/quote]
