Waterfront new building unlicensed 1.5 weeks out from school.

DC's Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) has confirmed that Waterfront Academy, as of yesterday, is still in the process for obtaining a license for the new building and OSSE did not see how this license could possibly be obtained by the school's start date, which is just one and a half weeks away. We as parents have not been informed about this by the school's administration, and don't understand how they will fit all of the students, especially 18 month olds, into their current building.
