[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind if the Principal's kids go to Oyster-Adams although the family lives out of boundary,

So, the admission rules only apply to some, not to others? That may explain her "motivation" to do whatever she pleases, instead of representing and leading a whole community.[/quote]

This entire issue is a systemic problem. If DCPS would pay attention (to the demand for bilingual education, the benefits for all (English and Spanish dominant), and the higher 8th grade scores for bilinguals, on and on), it would have figured out Oyster II and Oyster III with overlapping maps to ensure balance of english and spanish language dominance (however poorly defined), a long time ago. They completely renovated H.D. Cooke in 2005-06 and had an opportunity to make it Oyster II (could have been a feeder to Adams), and didn't...many more strategic higher level plans DCPS could be considering and isn't...
