[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't know what they're doing yet on class sizes for next year.  They may add another 3rd, 4th and 5th grade, they may not.

Personally I hope they do.  I have a third grader this year and it's been a rough year.  32 kids in the class.  
I can't think of a single 3rd grade parent that would chose this size class again, 2 teachers or not.

Million dollar question - where are they getting space from?  Are they going to Have a satellite campus for 1 grade at St. Ann's?[/quote]

St. Ann's isn't theirs for the taking, sorry.[/quote]

Isn't a lease at St. Ann's the likely "annex" solution if Janney is forced to expand to take the 10% "at risk" quota students?[/quote]

"Likely" in the sense that it is close by - but other than that... in reality, I do not think that it is likely.  I've only ever heard that come up here on this board.  I've never heard that in conversation at school.[/quote]

What's most unlikely is that the 10 percent at risk quota will be imposed on Janney -- at least, if logic and reason prevail in DCPS.  It's hard to fathom taking a school that is already overcrowded and then increasing it's school population by nearly 10 percent, especially with many kids who may have behavioral issues and other types of special needs.  It could create a very difficult situation for the school.[/quote]
