[quote=Anonymous]For those who remember the 2013 redistricting, one of the ideas that was floated was "choice sets." Instead of having by-right in-boundary schools, there would be "sets" of schools and you'd be guaranteed a seat at one of them. Everyone would have to play the lottery, and if your neighborhood school didn't have enough seats you might end up at another one nearby. This was pushed hard by DCPS in 2013. And nobody was fooled. You can go back into the DCUM archives and read the discussion from 2013, but everyone saw through it as a way to pretend to be doing something without addressing the fundamental problem that there are stark differences in quality among DCPS schools. But it was an idea that just wouldn't die, DCPS officials just kept bringing it up, meeting after meeting, even though nobody wanted it. Flash forward to today, it seems like once again the idea refuses to die. [/quote]
