I didn't see the metrics, but I would suppose that economic status and first language are the determinants of at-risk. I don't know if they would factor in special needs, but that would be an interesting thing if they did.  I agree with PP that the implication is 25% of the total seats which would put siblings out of spots in some schools. I hope this gets vigorously challenged. [/quote]

Metrics in footnote 5 of the report.

Pushing out siblings all depends on the preference order.  Previous proposal had siblings before at-risk, and then proximity.  This one is a big "we'll see" for at-risk.  I will note that the at-risk preference doesn't come into effect until *2016-17*, one year after everything else.  So we'll have one year where particularly desirable schools will have a 10 percent set-aside but without any preference for at-risk.  For example, you could be IB at Janney and not get in at Pre-K4 next year, but someone who is OOB but only a block outside the boundary could get in via proximity because the school will have to take 10 percent OOB.  Kind of a wierd dynamic.[/quote]
