[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So would anyone be supportive of giving at-risk preference over IB students for Pk3 and Pk4 at DCPS, and at every grade for charters and city-wide schools?

I'd be ok with at-risk kids getting a preference in PK3 and 4 over other IB kids at their IB schools. Or even a guarantee that they'll be admitted to either their IB school or a school they rank higher in the lottery...kind of like the IB guarantee some Title I schools are offering.

Honestly I doubt that there are many at-risk kids who listed their IB schools somewhere on their lottery lists and didn't match. But even if it's a single kid, I want him or her to have the benefits of PK.

I don't like the idea of at-risk beating out IB for grades K-12. But I'd be ok with an at-risk preference for those grades. Perhaps half the open seats could be reserved for at-risk kids, and then those that didn't get a spot would go into the pool with the non-at-risk kids for the other half of the open seats.[/quote]
