[quote=Anonymous]Why on earth would Mo Co opt to prevent students from school choice programs if their local school doesn't demonstrate AYP?! I went on the MCPS web site today and read the announcement that Mo Co had been granted an exemption not to comply with NCLB in this regard. Again why? What benefit would it serve other than to continue to fence off, isolate, and essentially ghetto-ize poor performing schools and limit any option for students at these schools to get a decent education? It's shocking that this hasn't received more attention on this board. By the way, for those who are not familiar, school choice allowed students from poor performing Title I schools to transfer to a specific set of schools if their home school failed to make Adequate Yearly Progress for several consecutive years. The schools that students would have had to choose from were other Title I schools - not necessarily high performing, but not failiing to meet AYP, either. [/quote]
