[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it needs to be Prospect neighbors leading the charge, not SWS.  That should be do-able.  And I think it's clear there won't be a true IB catchment option, just a proximity preference which helps keep SWS a Hill school but also gives them more control over enrollment.  Yes?[/quote]

But if there's proximity preference, then essentially it will become in IB school for everyone around LT.  You're making a distinction without a difference.[/quote]
That was going to be my question, wouldn't proximity mean that it would essentially be filled exclusively with siblings and neighbors?[/quote]

From the school's perspective, the difference would be that they could keep the size of the school stable because no one, even those with proximity preference, would be guaranteed a spot at the school.  They would just get preference in the lottery.

Do any of the current SWS parents who are clued in to how the process has unfolded so far know the explanation for why DCPS wants this school to be a city-wide school?  What is the reasoning they are using for opposing neighborhood preference?  I understand that they are, but I can't figure out what they think the advantage is for them. [/quote]
