[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can the open slots at Williamsburg be converted to an APS lottery?  Like H-B Woodlawn.[/quote]
They should do a lottery but only for ED students. [/quote]

Like VPI but for Middle School - VMI?[/quote]
Yes. Otherwise it will just be a brain drain with the highest SES kids from Jefferson and Kenmore transferring. [/quote]

Exactly! That's why they need to establish the parameters right now or they're just going to make flight easier for advantaged families. The best thing they could do would be to continue to allow transfers at Kenmore and Jefferson for the families who WOULD voluntarily bus their students in from more advantaged schools, and open a new program at Williamsburg, that is both appealing to and possibly limited to economically disadvantaged students. Like Montessori? 2/3 of the program seats are set aside for students who qualify for fr/l, right?

I don't really want to leave my neighborhood school, despite what some on DCUM think of it. I think it's a good school and that they are doing pretty well for all groups right now; well enough that we are willing to stay though we have options. But we will leave if every other involved family leaves. My child deserves an equitable and appropriate education, too. [/quote]
