[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OA families are living in such a different world than most dcps families. It's amazing. [/quote]'

That may be true, but most dcps families live in a different world than the average American.  DCPS has to serve all its students, not just the highest needs students.  [/quote]

An international stay in someone’s home is not a need.

I get that people are upset, and I was too when I initially heard about it because it’s frustrating watching DCPS cut things… but I get upset that they’re cutting advanced math options, or trimming extracurriculars. This is not the same.  This is changing an international trip to stay in someone’s home, to an international trip.  I am often critical of DCPS, but not with this.  There are bigger priorities, even within OA.[/quote]

Although DCPS is being put forward to take the fall for this decision, it does not appear they were the decision makers here. There has yet to be any change in DCPS policies.   This was an OA admin decision, without community discussion.  It seems the apparent main cause of the cancellation was because some kids cant get travel documents. [/quote]
