[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stoddert is a small school bursting at the seams. They used to have two preks and cut it back to one. There are 70-80 inboundary children seeking a PreK spot each year with only 19 spot to give (taken almost exclusively by younger siblings of current Stoddert kids). Glover Park residents get so little service compared to other hoods but that is what's necessary to ensure that required grades aren't overly crowded into classrooms. Janney needs to do that same for its populatio. Nix PreK. It's hard to administrators to do because of making tough staff decisions but that is why they are paid to lead. [/quote]

I think DCPS needs to build an ECE campus in Ward 3 to alleviate crowding in all the elementary schools. The amount of square footage required for ECE is astounding for the small population of PKers, especially since they require separate playgrounds, lunch rooms, specials, everything, and that space could be put to much better use in the crowded schools for older kids.

Chevy Chase Community Center, which used to be a school? Mann, which was designed around its ECE program and doesn't fill the upper grades? Build a new center at Livingston Playground or Turtle Park? There are options.[/quote]
