[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will HV strive to include francophone families (from all socio-economic levels) as key participants,  and strive to enroll French speaking kids? Or will it be an effort mainly conducted by American moms who like the idea of their kids speaking French and consider that the presence of a critical mass of French speaking kids as nice but not essencial? [/quote]

I would certainly hope it would be the former, and not the latter.  Enrolling French-speaking kids is obviously more a matter of outreach when it comes to DC charters, because all you can do is make sure you get the word out and increase the number of French-speaking kids who apply.  DC charters are not allowed to screen for or consider language ability in filling slots - it's strict lottery.  But if this gets off the ground I'd certainly hope it would be a huge priority to engage and do outreach to Francophones from all over the world in the DC area.  And not just in applications - this outreach would be key right from the beginning of designing the school.[/quote]
