[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the replies so far - this is helpful and I'll check back again tomorrow.

I guess what is happening here, in part, is that the DCPS press release was very vague/ambiguous and so everyone is projecting aspirations and fears onto this process, but it's really not clear what the scope of the review will be...

As a consequence I've seen suggestions on DCUM that in my opinion run the spectrum:

- encouraging and win-win (turn some charters into boundary-admission schools)

- reasonable albeit with vested interests opposed on either side (reduce OOB)

- unfair (shrink boundaries and hurt people who paid a premium for IB houses and invested in IB schools)

- crazy (eliminate the concept of IB and turn it all over to lottery)

BTW in any other city that last one wouldn't even be discussed by anyone, and I truly don't believe it will happen here. IB schools is a pretty sacred american idea and people have invested so much in certain DC schools for it all to go to waste. But DC can be pretty crazy and apparently it happened in San Francisco for HS, so who knows!

Anyway thanks for your thoughts!
