I went to a kindergarten readiness forum at my children’s preschool last night. The presenter was a kindergarten teacher from Stone Ranch. She said that this year, they anticipate that everyone living in the Stone Ranch or Monterey Ridge school boundaries is expected to get in (ie NO wait list), because the opening of Design39 should offload both of them. She did not specifically address Del Sur because no one in last night’s audience lived in that area.

Now, regarding D39… ultimately, I know of 4 kids from the preschool class whose parents applied for D39 kindergarten slots. (We did not apply). Apparently, two got in and two did not. One of the parents I was speaking with was speculating about “racial quotas”. It just happens that the two kids who got it were Caucasian, and the two who did not were Korean and Indian. The Korean parent felt that perhaps there were quotas against “too many” Asians in the school. I have not idea if that is correct, but that is apparently speculation among some in this community.
