[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the set aside seats for kids who get FARMs? Or just live IB for a low performing school? Maybe the FARMS designation would eliminate "working the system" because if you can pony up $9000 in rent for a place that you won't live in, you are not FARMS. Isn't that what teh set asides are for-helping disadvantaged kids--not creating a new game for clever parents? [b]Also, isn't the set aside thing a lot like No child Left Behind? Kids in crappy schools had/have the right to go to a "receiving" school. DCPS even provides buses for these kids. So, we already have this.[/b] [/quote] But right now these kids don't have preference in the OOB lottery and they change would be that they would move ahead of other students in the city. The first question here is an open one. The literature presented at the public meeting uses the language "lowest performing schools," indicating that the privilege is conferred by address, not by SES-status. [/quote]
