[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, I meant that sibling preferences for students already in the charter should not be granted. If they were, it would take years to see the benefit of neighborhood preference.[/quote]

Can't imagine why a school would go for that.  It's not DCPS.  There is no benefit to the school for neighborhood preference, on the contrary it only benefits the neighbors.  Siblings are more important and their preference - like founders - is already current law.  I'm a charter school and I'm allowed to offer neighborhood preference?  I might, but not if it affects my current population.

Now, this proposition might make sense for some schools, but there are others that have no compelling reason to opt in.  For example, I can't see Yu Ying wanting to do it.  They want families who are serious about Chinese, not families who happen to live near Catholic University.  Same story for IT.  They want families who are drawn to their mission, not necessarily families in Columbia Heights/U St.[/quote]
