[quote=Anonymous]I do not get what all the angst is about. If an ECE program is no longer serving mostly low-income children, it simply doesn't qualify for more federal resources. This is how it is everywhere in the country. DC used to have almost exclusively low-income children in its ECE (~10 years ago) and almost all schools got a share of the city's Title 1 budget even as more middle and upper-income children enrolled. Going forward those schools with the kids with the most need with get the extra resources that they are supposed to as defined by the US Dept of Ed. The city can of course come up with more funding make all classrooms equally funded -- but that sort of defeats the purpose of additional supports for kids who are already behind by age 3. Maybe this will make DC public PK3 and PK4 less attractive to wealthy families. I am not bothered by it; those aren't compulsory grades. [/quote]
