[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my daughter’s private DC preschool, 1/3 of the children would be pushed into 1st after preschool if this rule is applied broadly. Anyone know what the principals/registrars at Key, Mann, Stoddert and Hyde are actually doing in these situations ?[/quote]

I’m part of the PTO at a DCPS elementary school and our principal indicated that they have absolutely no discretion on this. As in, the computers do not give them the option to deviate. [/quote]

DP and I love this if true.[/quote]

But it’s not true.

The system does not - or previously did not - automatically do anything.

And the person who said “99% of DC schools unilaterally do not allow redshirting” are also lying because there’s no such data[/quote]

There's no data on it because redshirting violated DCPS policy and is not allowed at the vast majority of schools. Find me an EOTP school hat has an "unofficial redshirting" policy like the one Lafayette used to have. You can't.

99% is a guestimate but it can't be far off. Redshirting is not permitted at the vast majority of schools absent an IEP and even then it is rare because most educators in DCPS default to the position that keeping a child with their assigned cohort will be beneficial for closing gaps. This is especially the position of most SpEd teachers.[/quote]

Wrong.

Show me the policy that “doesn’t allow it”. Are you the one who said it’s been linked? Because it hasn’t because there isn’t any.

And any policy on the website now is 1. Random words from self serving DCPS central people not supported by legislation and 2. Were added within the past couple of months. Go ahead and check the WayBack Machine 😜[/quote]
