[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CMI shall soon realize: you're in the heart of DC and better get ready for the influx of diversity, the like private oasis you've gone through extreme lengths and expensive attorneys to protect is over. public means public.[/quote]

Ha ha ha!! You are so off-base. I am an AA parent whose children attend CMI. The school is about as diverse as you can get. It truly is like a Benetton ad. Oh and those expensive attorneys are a figment of your imagination...the school cannot afford them. The admin is stretched to capacity trying to create a great school and has no time to protect its "private oasis". Nothing to see here. Carry on.[/quote]

AA parent awesome, FARMS families need to speak up. They would never have Benetton in their lexicon.  I think CMI is doing great work, but I continue to worry that they rest on their long waitlists, but don't take what I feel like the responsibilities of charter schools to be seriously via recruitment, etc -- to reach out and support ALL kids in DC.  Has Creative Minds ever had a recruitment event or public information EOTR?[/quote]

Yes, I'm a CMI parent and I have been working with both Ward 7 and Ward 8 to do recruitment. We also were to attend the Ward 8 education fest (which was snowed out). We have a very active group doing recruitment, especially for our middle school.

why does CMI need to recruit? its racially diverse, and economically diverse that actually reflect the city as a whole?  also, why would most Ward 7 and 8 parents want to haul their kids to petworth? I am so tired of this never ending discussion about what makes a good school.    CMI is a lottery. they don't keep any particular students out.  I think the nasty anti CMI folks are just pissed they didn't get in.  And honestly why would any school want to add even more FARMS kids??  [/quote]

Well, because that's the fundamental job of a PUBLIC school?  To serve all children who could and would like to attend?  Does CMI have a map breakdown of their enrollees? Do they have more than 10 from Wards 7 and 8?  Is this information public?  The only reason I ask is that I feel like a commitment to misson means a commitment to recruitment in the WHOLE city.[/quote]
