[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is ancient history and hasn't happened for at least four years.

Even when LAMB did do that, it was completely out in the open as they didn't think they were doing anything wrong and weren't trying to hide anything. It was still "open to chance" lotteries: one for English and one for Spanish. It was done for language balance and not to for reasons like placing the Mayor's kids or children of Obama administration staff in WOTP schools.

You don't necessarily have to get over it if you don't want to but I think you'll be disappointed if you're waiting for the Justice Department to throw the book at the perps.

You are mistaken if you really believe LAMB didn't know what they were doing was against the rules. Maybe you haven't been around 4-6+ years ago, but they surely knew. Check out the search forums to understand exactly what went down and see many people's testimony with admin and complaints to charter board. Don't assert something if you're not familiar with what went down and what LAMB knew at the time. 4 years ago is not ancient history being that common lottery is only in it's 3rd year. It's actually pretty recent history considering that LAMB is the only tier 1 charter that doesn't do common lottery. I totally get the concern. I don't have a kid young enough to even attend LAMB, but I get it. [/quote]

I'm not a LAMB parent - but you really don't know what you are talking about.  Things were not as centralized as they are now.  Charter schools that were operating 6 or 7 years ago were pretty much on their own and making things up as they went along.
