[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]as in, "controlled choice"?

is that a serious proposal?

thanks for any info! I know it is anyone's guess at this point...[/quote]

Yes. After reading all the documents that the Deputy Mayor has released and attending 2 meetings, I believe that the three working groups will focus on different solutions for their geographic areas: West of Rock Creck, "MidCity", and East of Anacostia River. These decisions have already been made:  Different solutions for different geography.

The working groups will simply serve to engage community and try to win some buy-in and disrupt any unified political opposition by effectively pitting neighborhood vs neighborhood.

Mid city will move to controlled choice for all schools, hence the "choice sets". West of Rock Creek will be all neighborhood preference.  Presumably Wards 7/8 will still be allowed to leave their neighborhood schools.

If you listen to the technical team, it is generally accepted that all DC high school will move to lottery admission. It's the only way to get #s under control at Wilson without a landmark civil rights lawsuit. They're not even talking about HS in public meetings any more, they really want the ES and MS crowds to get excited and fight over their pieces.[/quote]
