[quote=Anonymous]I don't think we should fight to keep the DCC. I think the writing is on the wall on that one. However it does seem the regional program model will simply reproduce the issues with the DCC (e.g. white flight from Kennedy) on a countywide scale. I think we should fight for a regional program model that centers equity. As councilmember Natalia Fani-Gonzalez aptly stated, the proposed model is about equality, not equity, and it doesn't even achieve that because it does not create equal access to coursework for every child. Most will not get into their preferred program. The wealthy schools will keep their wealth of course work and siphon off the well resourced students that are able to travel to further schools. The rich kids are not going to travel to a low income school to access advanced coursework because they already have it at their home schools. Students will be traveling one way and not in a way that reduces segregation. In fact quite the opposite.[/quote]
