[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's pretty obvious.  "Neighborhood preference" is just another way of saying inbounds.  (I realize that DCPS has "OOB with proximity" for the lottery, but if there is no IB option, like at SWS, then a proximity preference would essentially be IB.)  They don't want another IB school practically right next to Ludlow Taylor.  They are pouring a lot of money into LT to renovate it-- why would they then go ahead and undermine it by plopping another IB school next to it?  People get pissy enough when they don't get a spot in the PS/PK lottery-- you think folks are going to be happy when they are shut out of their quasi-inbounds school and have to go to the "less than" LT?

There is no upside for DCPS to make this an IB (or if you prefer, "neighborhood preference") school.  None.  [/quote]

Agree. Neighborhood preference would allow for the stability that people are mentioning (i.e. no students added by rights at K), but it would essentially carve off a chunk of the LT catchment and leave very few (or no) spaces for citywide kids.[/quote]
