[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]40% of the children at DC General are under age 2 (as in, age 0 or 1). When you consider the kids who are 2, or 3 but missed the deadline, most kids won't be going to any DCPS or charter school.

Of those that will, they'll be all different ages. Some will want to stay at their current school, some will already be enrolled at the IB school where their shelter is located, and some will enroll as new IB students at the school.  But no grade or school is going to get a large influx of homeless children. And if families who enrolled at their new IB school move out of shelter, their kids can finish the school year there, and return at principal's discretion (same as kids who move OOB for other reasons).

None of it sounds unreasonable or too daunting to me. Most schools already have a number of homeless children. The ones that don't certainly have the fundraising and volunteer capacity to provide adequate services to the few kids who would attend.[/quote]

That's a great stat....but 48% of the kids at DC general are elementary school aged.  This will have a very large impact on the elementary schools....[/quote]

You can't be this stupid.

They are already IN these schools![/quote]
