[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]does "discretionary" include cases where a student is placed to remove from a harmful situtation (ie bullying)?  I'd imagine such cases wouldn't fall within the 7 cases of abuse cited by IG[/quote]

Even if that were the case it would still be awful. If her staffers are the only ones who get placed in a school of choice after a bullying situation, that's certainly unfair treatment. 100s or 1000s of kids face bullying yearly and aren't allowed to move.[/quote]

Not really.  I personally know several cases of safety placements and none were government officials or politically connected.  Their kids were being bullied and they appealed to the chancellor who exercised that discretion.  That doesn't justify using placements to score political points but it's totally unrelated.[/quote]

There are safety transfers that are allowed, and there are Chancellor's discretionary placements that are allowed. The question is should the latter be allowed?[/quote]
