Bowser says her daughter will probably attend Shepherd

I mean, they have to rig it for her, right? Does the Mayor get a special dispensation in the lottery?

No rigging needed. Shepherd admits about 95% of IB applicants at lottery and 100% via waitlist and has done so the last 5(ish?) years they have had PK3.

Exactly. It isn’t like the mayor lives IB for Brent or Maury.

White’s older kid goes to their IB DCPS.

And there you have, hypocrisy and “equity for all” in the highest regard on display.

Not so fast there. The chancellor is IB for Shepherd/Deal/Wilson. Any choice that he's made to send his kid elsewhere isn't for lack of a good option by geography. Different kids need different things. Give a parent a break - you have no idea what his kids are like.

This. His only school aged kid goes to their IB (mentioned here). Bad reporting.

If the chancellor’s child had SPED issues I’m sure the law covers privacy matters if his child were enrolled in DCPS.
If DCPS were truly servicing SPED families the way they were supposed to, then wouldn’t DCPS be adequate & resourceful enough to meet the needs of his SPED child?

The real issue here is that the mayor and DCPS is still reeling from its gaff from the previous two chancellors and departure of Amanda Alexander. So private was the best option to keep everyone happy.

PP here. Not talking about SPED, talking about fit. Some kids would do better in a smaller school, more academic focus, etc. Banneker, Walls, McKinley, all the charters...those are all public school options that serve different kids with a different focus. Don't be a jerk and say that his kids MUST go to their IB when they clearly have the same choices available to them as any other kid and parent in the District.

+1, that's what I've heard; maybe discussed in a prior thread.

Well, this certainly settles the question of whether Shephard will continue to feed to Deal.

Mcduffie does private? No wonder he is so ignorant about education in ward five. His budget priorities section on this was shockingly bad. I hate all these fools and hypocrites.

And?

Not always, but Catholics typically send their child to the school of their parish.

St. Anthony School is only 54% Catholic so most kids aren't from the parish. It's also small, 15-25 students per grade.
