New memo from the LSAT (scroll down) http://oysteradamsbilingual.org/lsat/

A lot of time and effort went in to engaging current families to raise some issues and look for potential ideas in a constructive and respectful manner. It's not a perfect process and the memo isn't meant to be the last word. Nobody knows what happens next. DCPS looks to be kicking the boundary can down the road.

I'm a current IB bilingual parent with no set opinion on the future. This memo has information on past and current challenges I wasn't aware of. (I think of myself as "involved" at school.) I am very thankful to the parents and staff who worked so hard on this.

Whether you're a booster, basher, or just curious about Oyster-Adams, it makes for interesting reading.

For you data hounds out there, enjoy chewing over the raw numbers of the surveys.  :)[/quote]

Very sad to see that the LSAT recommendation directly contradicts what three out of four of the working groups came up with, and that their work was relegated to an appendix.  Also interesting to see how much effort the writers of this memo seemed to put into downplaying the validity of the survey (it was bad sample, not enough Spanish speakers).  The parents have spoken pretty clearly --- they mostly want an in boundary school in its current location.  I'm not sure why the LSAT believes they can circumvent the parents' wishes.  Also, if the faculty want to work in a different kind of school, they should by all means apply to one and not let the door hit them on the way out.[/quote]
