[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SWW@FS and Ross must feed to the new Shaw Middle as originally planned.  That would cut down on crowding at SWW@FS and set Shaw up for success.

Call upper NW's bluff on overcrowding and cut their PK4 waay back-- only enough to provide inclusion classes for special ed students and the at-risk kids who live IB.[/quote]

How does that help? All those kids show up at K then. Same problem.[/quote]

End automatic feeder rights for OOB to Deal and Hardy.  Or say that only the top 15 to 20 percent of OOB can continue on in the pattern.  That way you reward the kids who work hard and achieve and will take advantage of the privilege of continuing on the OOB track after elementary and middle school.  Win-win.[/quote]

No!! OB in or out.  No cherry picking the kids with advantages and access to tutors etc. IF you were going to do a "honors" preference for OB then it must be offered city wide to everyone at all schools. 
They really just need to stop the feeder preference for OB. I am not in NW and don't plan to enroll in a feeder for the Deal or Hardy or whatever. I also think you should not be allowed to stay at a school for the following year if you move OB. Possibly, a acceptation for 4-5th or 7-8th and 11-12th but not for the younger sibling, Baring Homeless/Foster/Primary care giver death etc which case should be appealed through principal AND school SW AND central office all signing off. 
I do think dropping the OB preference will make some folks move out of DC and others invest in their neighborhood schools more. Said by a NE parent that has no clue what we will do for High School in a few years. But I sill don't think OB feeders are in the long term best interest of DCPS or Charters. [/quote]
