[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no benefit of continuing this OOB "safety valve" lottery system. Michelle Rhee was off the mark as the system has not improved overall, just some random children get a spot at a "good" school. Improve neighborhood schools.[/quote] If there are spots available in schools I have no problem making them available to taxpayers who want them, even if they don't happen to live in-boundary. The mistake was upping the stakes on OOB. Making it so that if someone gets into an OOB slot for pre-k they have rights for the next 14 years -- as do their siblings. Making it a right that trumps any notion of capacity of the schools. Those changes made DCPS even more a system of haves and have-nots, a system of winners and losers. These were short-sighted destabilizing changes.[/quote]
