That would make it harder to weed out the bad actors. How can you close failing schools if you're not opening new ones?
They go to improving dcps schools
Come on, even the mediocre "improving" DCPS have waislists. Name one DCPS that have score above 60 and doesn't have a wait list. That baseline # is pretty sad but true.
That depends on the grade. Our IB school has scores around that range (math above, reading below), but we still have a few spots open. Just not in the early years.

Because they finally shut down an old charter? Great logic. You must be involved in DCPS planning.

The logical thing would be to try and find a new operator but keep the kids in the building.

From what I hear, those children were getting a crap education (even by DC standards), so hopefully whatever happens with them (IB schools?) will be an improvement over Community Academy.
And SO HOPEFUL their buildings go to other charter schools!

How will they handle the inventory of their buildings? Especially the on near Fort Totten metro. This may be good news for Bridges. They could just move across the parking lot.

That is amazing news. We will always be stunted by our worst flagrant bad actors, and this was an incredible disaster.

Prett sure you can enrich yourself from a charter, but you can't be quite as flagrant...

Community Academy is going to close! Good riddance to piece of sh** Kent Amos and all the trouble he has caused.
It has some amazing properties, including the one next door to MV: Can't wait to see some good operators get into them!
