[quote=Anonymous]Both candidates have said that they will undo the DME's plan. Catania has said that he will postpone it. Bowser has said it's not ready yet. But the law requires a one year notice before boundaries can be changed. And since the decision has already been made to change the boundaries I think it may require an additional year in order to revert back to the old boundaries. It's all sort of unclear and would likely be tested legally. But nevertheless the lottery is scheduled to launch on or around December 15. The new mayor will not take office until the first week of January. At that time the new mayor can undo the DME plan, but it's unclear how that would affect the lottery that has already launched based upon new boundaries,new requirements around out of boundary rules, preference for at risk children, mandatory access to preschool three and pre-K at title one schools, etc. if the candidates can't delay the launch of the lottery then it will be very difficult and chaotic for them to stop it and start over. And again there would be a legal question about whether or not the new mayor could immediately revert back to the old boundaries or if they would have to wait a year[/quote]
