How will you find licensed teachers who want to work in Ward 7 and are also fluent in Japanese?

LAMB, YY, and MV have literally hundreds of names on their respective WLs. The demand is demonstrably nowhere near filled.

I studied Japanese at GDS and lived there as a teacher.

Give me your opinions.
Why? Answer that first and I'll give you my opinion.
I am a charter operator trying to how many gentrifiers would come to my low rent charter if I had some exotic angle?
Why ask? You have some data - look at the enrollment rates at the Hebrew language charter.
Where is that enrollment information?
What do you do for a living again?
Pretty sure she was being facetious, dear.

Demand that is filled meaning needs are met? Have you seen the waitlists at the Spanish immersion schools?
Yes. They're short.

I would much rather see Arabic and/or Farsi.

I would suggest high-demand world languages first, specifically Spanish and Mandarin. Japanese is valuable, but more esoteric.

Here are the posted available spaces:
http://www.myschooldc.org/find-schools/available-spaces/
Sela has 26 spaces available for PK4. I suppose you can guess enrollment from that.
I'm not sure I would say Japanese has no use. 25 years ago, I would bet Japanese would have been preferred over Mandarin. Who knows what will be needed in 15-20 years.

The demand for Spanish and Mandarin far outstrip supply
