[quote=Anonymous]A few approaches:

1 - do not let Deal / Hardy take any kids who do not have current rights to them.    Audit HARD enrollment.   If policy is if you move OOB during elementary school you no longer have rights to the feeder pattern - enforce it.

You need to get a critical mass of kids at the other middle schools.   The only way you do it is cut off path to Deal / Hardy.

2- start building an interest in the other schools - and make everyone aware of successes.   Have events in the fall of 4th grade across feeder schools to start building community.   it needs to be a community thing - not just the "problem" of the Principal at the Middle School.

Families need to know that their child is going to be safe, learn, have friends, have opportunities to try new things.

If DCPS committed resources to creating a real path - not flavor of the month. You can make traction.   But when Principals never know what budget / staff they might or might not have next year.   And put on them mandates to react to without - they are left fighting fires all the time.  [/quote]
