[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC charter law says proxiity preference CAN be given for a few years if an existing DCPS converts into a charter. For example, if Oyster-Adams converted to a charter, IB families the year of conversion would get first dibs. Similar to grandfathering feeder patterns when boundaries change. The charter law could be changed to account for hybrid neighborhood charters. It's probably more likely that one or two charters might get hybrid status. [/quote] A DCPS changing to a charter in order to get more autonomy makes sense, and there would be at least a logical reason to have neighborhood preference. However, an existing charter which serves students from all over the District, really has nothing to gain under the scenario. Why would, say, EL Haynes decide to preferentially serve students in Ward 4? What do they get out of it, when they have a genuine desire to serve students from all over the city, including east of the river?[/quote]
