[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't be a fan of sharing long term with high school and other unknown entities but it's a beautiful building, closer to metro, and better than some of the other options that were floating around.[/quote]

Come on DCUM, surely you can do better than this?  You must have more petty ways to rain on our parade than this. I mean a beautiful, historic building that's near Metro, near the current location and has beautiful green space and plenty of room can't be perfect, there must be DCUM complaints to put those "mean" Lee moms in their place.[/quote]

Sure, I'll help! It's a beautiful building, but will probably need a ton of work since it's been sitting vacant for a couple of years. Of course there will be safety concerns since it will be an open campus with a reform school onsite, and they will need to expand so quickly to afford the place that the educational model will probably suffer.  :mrgreen: [/quote]

Ha ha.

Though I will say that though they aren't planning to expand this year (no bubble class), there will be lost of natural expansion in the next few years as we grow from 6 classrooms in the fall to 12 per our charter plan (all of this was in the email).  So Lee will be a good bet for lottery lists in future years.  And we are adding one new primary class this year o f20- 22 (9ish pk3, 9ish pk4, and 5 k).  Plus, by my count there will be at least 5 open spots in K, not counting attrition, to fill out new K class. [/quote]

My understanding is new primary class will not have any k kids for the first year.[/quote]

I thought they were running it how they ran the initial start-up classrooms, but I could be wrong?  Maybe they plan to leave room to send some entering K kids into the new primary class for the first couple of months.  They did that last year with kids who needed the basics in Montessori materials before they moved on.[/quote]
