Not defending the troll, but I don't think this year's schoolwide percentages are available yet.

I assumed they were providing last year's data as they started providing it pre-count day.

Head Start eligibility is not based on the overall school poverty percentage, but the percentage of economically disadvantaged students in preK. Yes, all of the schools that will not have Head Start are heavily disadvantaged in grades K/1 through 5, but this is not the case in preK/ECE. If you look at the categorical poverty data for things like SNAP, TANF, homeless children, and foster children the rates for many of the schools that are being cut is extremely low. If DCPS was basing the decision on overall school poverty all of the schools except Ludlow Taylor and Van Ness would still receive the services. Now, Head Start and Title I are two separate things. All of these schools except maybe Ludlow and Van Ness will remain Title I for next year.

I agree, it is odd how the troll pops up to make these random assertions but provides no background on how the decision is being made, what percentage a school needs to qualify, what exactly os being withheld, when the announcement will be made, etc. The list of schools keeps changing too. A person truly in the know would not leak, or would leak more persuasively. This just reads like stirring the pot.

All of this has already been explained multiple times in the thread. Did anyone honestly think that Head Start was going to continue to allow DCPS to continue providing services with schools with less than a third of Head Start eligible kids.

They well might, but your trolling is not persuasive. If you can provide a full list of schools and the cutoff percentage, I will believe you are not just a troll.

As a reminder, Head Start is a program for economically disadvantaged 3 and 4 year old children in preK. Yes, grades K-5 might be heavily disadvantaged but this is not the case in preK.
