[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a child at Campbell. There were 4 K classes last year and they looked full to me. I don’t know the exact numbers but I’m guessing 21-22 kids per class. I’d like to know the exact numbers and why they didn’t consider them full. Anyone know how I can find out? Thanks. [/quote]

21 is hardly full. [/quote]

That’s considered very full for a Title 1 school. [/quote]

Okay fair, didn’t realize an option school could be title 1. But that means it is engineered that way, so [b]they can adjust its option formula and increase usage[/b] of that sites capacity and benefit the whole system. [/quote]

If they adjusted the option formula it wouldn’t increase usage, just change who the school was serving. I don’t know why they would do that. It’s serving a historically underserved population very well right now, and the MC/UMC kids, too. It’s the highest performing Title 1 school. It has made great strides in closing “achievement” gaps. I don’t know why they’d limit access to the program for kids eligible for fr/l to serve more MC and UMC kids, as if they aren’t being served elsewhere. If they want to grow the program to give access to more students from each population, they’ll need to build an addition. The current building is really small and there’s no reason to force further overcrowding when there’s existing capacity in the system. [/quote]

DP. I really wanted the Campbell experience for my kids, but I'm happy that it's serving kids who will benefit most from it. I support the plan to keep it Title 1 even if that means my kids can't attend.
