From ANC5C02 Commissioner Sylvia Pinkney :
The Latin American School has been selected to develop the former JF Cook Elementary School – on the Unit block of P Street, NW . The development includes a charter school/residential space for the students.
If anyone has anymore details about this, let us know. I’d be interested to know more about the Latin America school.
Wow! I really hope its the Latin American Montessori Bilingual Public Charter School–there’s already one in NW. http://www.lambpcs.org/ We just had a baby girl and we’ve been praying for a good charter pre-k-6 school to open up in our neighborhood. (we live in shaw). Bilingual’s even better!
Got this from Jim Berry:
The BACA meeting next Monday will present Mai Fernandez, from the Latin American Youth Center, (not a school)? is going to be the featured speaker to talk about their plans to occupy the former John F. Cook Elementary School building, near North Capitol and P Streets, NW. This is the building that we thought for a time would be occupied by the KIPP Academy as a public charter school.
We’ll find out more about it soon.
