[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the board at my kid's PreK-8, (not DC), and this upcoming year (22-23) is the largest applicant pool and class sizes in our history.

I think a lot of people who stuck with public this year became very dissatisfied very quickly. The staffing shortages, transportation issues, food service snafus, lack of aftercare, constant quarantines... it has just been an endless cluster.

For the dual-income working families I know at privates, the cost of private school is an insurance policy for one's own sanity.

(I work in public education, so I am in touch with both the public & private worlds). [/quote]
I could see that this past year, but if next year and the year after goes back to "normal" wher kids aren't quarantining left and right, what will the applications look like?

I have a colleague whose preK kids are constantly having to go into 10 day quarantine (not in DC), and it's wreaking havoc with their work.  I could see wanting to have some stability in everyone's lives, but I wonder when we go back to "normal", will a lot more parents pull their kids out?  I would imagine the tuition will start to climb due to the demand.[/quote]
