If LAMB isn't at max enrollment then it doesn't need approval to add a class. The ceiling increase would be for increasing past the max. If they are adding a primary class this fall, that's great news to me!

Predicting that if LAMB does add spaces after lottery results it will be the "big event" that affects waitlists this year. What I don't like is that the DCPCSB isn't voting on until after enrollment, so families will be enrolling and then disenrolling well into May and June. Hard for schools to plan.

Go LAMB and fix neighborhood schools!!!!

Best of luck to LAMB's expansion request.

I am not lessening Lamb's achievement, only pointing out that mean Montessori mom is not actually very correct.

Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan is AMI-associated, not certified. It's been seeking certification for years and years and has not achieved it.

Gem who wants to punish LAMB by opposing their ceiling increase was a troll.

Lamb is accredited, just not with AMI. There is no public school in DC that is accredited with ami. Some are seeking it. Mean Montessori mom was a troll.

^^ oops - clicked wrong thread. My apologies

Have Bridges parents talked to any of their Board members about the turnover and staffing issues!

Whatever, OP. Hope you got the jollies you were looking for.

That was a troll.

OP was trollin' and everyone fell for it! Best of luck to LAMB in its expansion and to parents who want a quality education for their kid in the city. LAMB is not and should not be the end all for everyone. Fix neighborhood schools please.

I doubt that poster is a lamb parent mostly because this information has been known to lamb parents for weeks now and has been discussed to death. Most of us are over the topic and have either submitted a letter supporting the expansion, or have opted not to support it. Best of luck to you on the lottery if LAMB is hat you're looking for.
