[quote=Anonymous]It could also be a case of those with some "in" knew to ask; those without any "in" had no idea that they could ask for this sort of discretionary placement. In any case, I don't see why using discretion you are granted to place 7 (which is really not very many) students in schools outside of the lottery is necessarily "abuse." If DC wants more transparency, all they have to do is change the legislation so such discretionary placements have to be publicly reported or at least reported confidentially to the council. TBH, I actually wouldn't even have a problem if Kaya recruited a deputy or other senior official by saying: "Come live in DC from wherever you live and I'll make sure your kids get to go to Deal/Wilson/whatever because the position pays crappily and you can't otherwise afford to live IB so you otherwise won't come." Like, it's her discretion.[/quote]
