[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is baffling to me that at this point, having seen the same issues over and over, at Watkins/Peabody for a cluster, everywhere with bussing and aftercare issues (nationally, not just DC) and for the charters in DC, DC can’t make it a priority to have bussing in elementary, free after care for EVERYONE under a certain income threshold and sliding from there to a much higher level, and to have standardized grade bands. [b]Simply making Basis and Latin start in 6th would reduce so much churn and strengthen the elementary experience everywhere.[/b] [/quote]

Relevance?  BASIS and Latin will never start at 6th.  Zero momentum politically to change their start year.  Pure fantasy.  I'm not convinced that this merger will ever happen either.  It's been bogged down, probably being derailed in slow motion.

This is actually one of the things the boundary task force is discussing.[/quote]

The task force debated a common 6th grade entry for NEW schools not schools like BASIS or Latin that already exist. In any case, if this is done, I see BASIS having a great case for an elementary approval. [/quote]
