Eliminating pre-k 4 would immediately open up spots (50+- 78) at the highest demand Ward 3 schools.

It is a shame that the most privileged Ward in the city is getting subsidized day care when the emphasis should be on providing the highest quality pre-k 4 and 3 facilities to low-income communities. Closing gaps in early childhood has tremendous benefits for the city as a whole in terms of higher levels of academic achievement and lower delinquency rates.

Eliminating pre-k 4 in high-demand Ward 3 schools sounds like an excellent policy decision. It may also incentivize less affluent families to go east of the park.[/quote]

Not quite.  The same number of students would be there starting in K, eliminating preK does not make room in other grades and to the extent they have portable classrooms they can have them removed.  This provides no rational reason to make older grades larger.

Also, defunding preK WOTP does nothing to fix schools elsewhere in the city.  You are under the delusion that the problem elsewhere is a lack of money, it is not.[/quote]
