D.C. School Board Approves Collaboration Between Charter and Public School
Sue Anne Pressley Montes of the Washington Post reports today that the D.C. Board of Education has approved the co-location of a new KIPP middle charter school with the Scott Montgomery Elementary School in N.W. The idea is that the charter, called the KIPP D.C.: Will Academy will accept Scott Montgomery elementary students once they reach the 9th grade. The elementary school was seeking the arrangement due to dropping enrollment. DCPS Superintendent Janey got the 2 sides talking after he tried without success to have KIPP take over a failing middle school.
What I don't understand about the whole thing is why KIPP would not just want to start teaching the kids from kindergarten.
