[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. The mayor lied. She was making a marketing pitch that totally back-fired. She thought saying it would be 500 set-aside seats would get the Council to fund it. Turns out, the Council doesn't want the city-wide set-aside seats and have made it absolutely clear they will not fund an expansion of capacity for city-wide seats. [/quote] It was obvious at the time to anyone who knows how DCPS works that the mayor was lying. A DCPS school is either a neighborhood school or a citywide school. There is no such thing as a neighborhood school with citywide seats set aside. How would that even work? Would in-boundary kids be turned away once all the in-boundary seats were full? DCPS would have had to come up with a new attendance policy just for this school. The existing policies are the result of decades of legislation and litigation, not something that can just be revised on a whim. [/quote]
