[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will oyster still have in boundary this year?[/quote]

Yes, of course. This year and next and for the foreseeable future. It is only a minority of the Oyster Adams community that would like to change things; the majority (and DCPS) are pretty happy to maintain such a successful and diverse model.[/quote]

How can this be true if it is majority out of boundary to begin with that a majority of the school prizes the in boundary set up for a specialized school?[/quote]

Because a majority of those OOB families want their kids to attend a school in a nice, affluent area...not in the hood.  You can't remove the boundaries and leave Woodley Park without a neighborhood school.  Oyster has been bilingual and on that same corner for over 40 years--nothing major is changing with those boundaries anytime soon.  Plus, if there were no boundaries, those parents would still have to travel to WP to attend the school.  The real reason some people want Oyster's boundaries abolished is that they resent that affluent families can buy their way into the neighborhood/school.  In a word: envy.[/quote]
