[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But let's assume that most of the at risk kids would be applying for a limite number of good schools. These kids could easily take up most of the spots, especially if they get preference over siblings. A few schools would be overwhelmed meeting the needs of at risk kids. Other families would be hesitant to apply if there is no sibling preferences. This could lead to a good school becoming a not so good school thereby defeating the goal.[/quote] The only thing on the table is giving them preference over any other OOB students. They would not have preference over, say, IB students or IB siblings (for preschool). If applied at application schools that would change things, at least at SWW. It would be most evident in city-wide schools or charters. [/quote]
