[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wiping out a PREK4 classroom WotP is probably not big deal.  But at Brent, the ECE classrooms were built as Head Start classrooms in the 60s.  They're unusually small in a building where all the classrooms are already smaller than the DCPS elementary school norm.

You couldn't just dump ECE in one room and use that classroom for the older rooms - not enough room.  [b]You'd have to knock down a wall or two and join two ECE to create a bigger room to accommodate older kids.  [/b]Even using an ECE room for a special wouldn't work very well due to space limitations.  There just aren't any easy answers without a massive budget for a big renovation with the kids in a swing space for a school year, maybe longer.[/quote]

If that's what has to happen, then that's what has to happen. Not sure why this is so mind bending to the Brent folks. There are plenty of PK programs around the city your child can still attend if free preschool tuition is that pressing. K-5 kids are the priority.[/quote]
