How many instructors did they have before? Our charter has 22 kids for PS and PK with 3 adults (2 teachers and 1 aide) and that works just fine. K is 22 with just the 2 teachers and it also works fine.

Any idea how many slots MV will there be for Kindergarten?

This will affect school culture

MV needs more bodies to pay for their new building and renovation.

^^i am referring to mundo verde.

Is anyone troubled that average class size will increase from 18 to 24 students with no increase in the number of instructors in each room? This is a huge change.

MV said at the open house that they would have 28 Pk3 slots (including sibs) next year. Under this amendment, it looks like they will have 40. Is that correct--an additional 12 PK3 slots? (And more in other grades of course.)

It doesn't look like the MV and CM amendments are included here--looks like the included ones are Briya, DC Prep, and Tree of Life. Am I missing something?

They were presented back in December and voted on tonight. Look back from the December info.

How many slots did MV increase? I was just looking in the DCPCSB website and could not find the charter amendment applications for neither CM nor MV.

CM already had 2 per grade, it added an additional 2 kids per grade.

MV added more on top of the increase from the move.

This is win-win for the schools and for those looking for great schools.

Excellent! I know CM wants two classes per grade; what is MV's goal? Will this have an impact on slots for next year, or is this just the extra slots that MV had because of the move?

Charter school board voted to expand both schools.

Congrats!
