[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know if an English translator will be present.  Its really concerning that DCPS would even consider a "public information" meeting without allowing for both languages.    The feeder schools to McFarland are slowly gentrifying and if DCPS is seriousl about making this school successful they need all the dual language kids from the feeder schools or else it will underenrolled or very low perfomring.   Just ask Cap hill parents who are still not satisfied with their choices and most bolt after 4th grade.    McFarland is going to compete with DCI.  What I see potentially happening would be for many kids to start at the feeders, the parents realize the academics are going downhill fast so they try to lottery their kid into a dual language charter by 3rd or 4th and then aim for DCI for middle and high school.  this is a reality that DCPS must face.   And starting off the first info session regarding a dual language school and it not occuring to DCPS to hold it in both languages actually is telling.  Quite frankly, DCPS needs the high SES gentifiers who have kids in the PRESCHOOLs at the feeders now to buy into McFarland now in hopes of attracting more IB parents to the feeders and keeping them in the feeders through 5th grade.  I don't understand why this is so difficult to for DCPS.  [/quote]
