[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MV8 almost certainly offered more PK3 seats last year than they had slots available, counting on a certain amount of folks declining their match. This is the same reason they offered 10 1st grade seats this year - they don't know that's how many seats they will have, but are counting on a certain number of their K current students to not re-enroll next year.

If there is an example of a school that has 80-100 PK3 students this year and only 15-20 "available lottery seats" for that grade next year, I'd love to see it.[/quote]

That is a perfectly normal and un-surprising thing for MV to do.  The first year only had PK3, PK4, and K.  So all available classrooms were used for three grades.  Now, the same number of rooms must be used to serve PK3, PK4, K, and 1st.  So they will have to have less students in other grades, to free up space for the new 1st grade rooms.[/quote]

This is an out of date version I think, but new charters have to submit a table of how many kids they will have in each grade, each year.  See how the number of preschoolers is high, then drops off?

Thank you. I was looking for something that spelled out how many kids are enrolled per class. This projection seems odd given the actual number of available seats (37 vs. 80, and 37 vs. 70), so it’d be great if accurate data were available. [/quote]
