[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LAMB indicated that they were trying to balance the number of 3 year olds and 4 year olds in the classroom. So most likely no new 4 year olds, period. Insert sad face.[/quote] Does their charter allow them to handpick 3 year-olds? Is there a provision that allows them to skip over 4 year-olds on the top of the waitlist?[/quote] A charter can definitely set exact counts for each age that it admits. Each age has it's own waitlist. So they can decide to admit say, 5 four year olds and 20 three year olds if that's how they want to set up their classes. Since each age has it's own waitlist it's easy to make it work. This is the way that charters control enrollment, and they are very careful about it.[/quote] DCPS principals can also determine how they want to allocate their mixed 3/4 year old classes too.
