[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids who stay at DC General- did they attend their old school or the one zoned for DC General?

[/quote]

I believe they have a right to attend either. In practice, I read somewhere (not sure where) that the number of kids from DC General attending the zoned school for DC General is small - <15?[/quote]

This was discussed in another thread.  Of the 100s of kids at DC General less than 30 currently attend the IB school for the shelter.  I'm assuming its mostly upper grades since they don't have to guarantee spots for preschool.  Someone claimed something like 40% of the children in DC General are under 2.  There is not going to be a huge influx of kids into the IB schools for the new shelters.  People need to settle down. [/quote]

Unless a school bus to the old school is provided, the kids should attend the closest school and mom/dad should be enrolled in a class or out looking for work. What exactly is the expectation for folks in these shelters? What's the wraparound plan for them to move their lives forward?[/quote]
