[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the objective is equitable options for every student, what DCPS should do would be for every child make a decision if they are K ready. Even if you are already enrolled in DCPS, have the same standards applied across the city so that children who are in PreK3 / PreK4 do not get social promotion into K. Reframe the message that some kids stick in PreK and not make it a thing for moving to K.  If a parent disagrees with the decision that the child is K ready, there is the appropriate supports in place.

I agree with this line of thought. In addition, allow the parents of summer babies to make that decision if they want to enroll their child in k or stay another year. The age gap is still acceptable and those kids would still complete high school as ~18 year olds.[/quote]

Then go private why should tax payers pay for an extra year of preschool?[/quote]

I never mentioned anything about tax payers pay for an extra year of preschool. I simply proposed to give the parents leeway to decide when their summer child should start K! 
And there is already a DCPS policy in place that students cannot repeat a school year. What I proposed is separate from retaining two years.[/quote]

If the child is in DCPS PK then that does mean an extra year of public PK. [/quote]
