Proposal B to have Oyster-Adams feed into Cardozo H.S...

That's CHEC, not Cardozo. All the Oyster kids would get from Cardozo is a terrible education and behavioral problems. The school actually touts it's "behavioral and educational support" program on its DCPS profile. Ugh!!! |

| Someone I know visited Cordozo recently and reported that it's a complete crazy zone in terms of behavior. No kid could learn anything of intellectual weight in that environment. |

| To be clear--schools that currently feed to CHEC only feed there for middle school. For high school, they don't continue unless they are accepted through the application process and then matched. I don't know about Powell kids, but HD Cooke kids are then in-boundary for Wilson but I think would be in boundary for Cardozo under the new plan. We are ultimately expecting to have to move no matter what happens; CHEC or Cardozo are both non-starters for us. |

Ok, thanks. |

Us too. Those schools would have to be radically different in order for us to consider them. |

But if some new high quality charters popped up, you'd probably stick around,right?
Maybe that's the idea -- to make DCPS so unacceptable that going charter becomes the only way to stay in town |

| But Oyster isn't city wide lottery at least under this plan, isn't that what scared parents? Now they can have up to 8th at least. |

But they lose their Deal feed. It was a relic that probably had to go, so they had to have seen the writing on the wall. New prospective IB parents may rethink the school, though. I think may have a big effect. |

| I'm not IB for Oyster Adams but I won't vote for Proposal B because it means the kids will have to go to a worse high school. I don't think that's fair to those families. |

I don't think there's going to be a referendum on these although it would be interesting if they did. |

| Does Oyster retain the 50% Spanish dominant lottery uni any scenario? |

Yes, Oyster's two lotteries remain unchanged. |

Something else to consider: Oyster sends about 1/3 to just under 1/2 of its graduates to Wilson each year. The vast majority of the students in Oyster's graduating classes are Hispanic. So Proposal B would effectively send a largely Hispanic group of kids to the failing Cardozo, where before they could go to Wilson. Many of these kids are (presumably) from lower income immigrant families. So this proposal really harms the most vulnerable students at Oyster--it sounds as if a case for disparate impact can be made against this proposal. |

| ^^maybe for those kids, but that doesn't change the rest of the proposal does it? |
