[quote=Anonymous][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.

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]

And getting back to the topic of thread, does Eric Goulet understand this? Which is worse, that he doesn't know basic facts about how the public schools work? Or that he does and goes around spreading racist dog-whistles anyway?[/quote]
