[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the DME does not have an easy job, so I'm sorry to express distrust, but i do have to question why the DME's proposal is so hands off charters. I'm not insinuating that their autonomy be taken or that neighborhood preference be applied (I'm completely against that). I just question why the proposal practically acts as if the charters aren't a prominent part of our educational landscape in DC. And all I'm left with is that perhaps the DME is so far in the charter camp that she is loathe to do anything to rock their boats. She did choose charter for her own kids, right? [/quote]

I see this often - speculation about the DME'S personal bias toward charters and I find it just as baffling as the oblique reference to DCPS "coordinating" with charters.

The DME proposals are about school boundaries and school assignment.  Neither of these things apply nor has anything at all to do with charters. You cannot be assigned to a charter and none of them has a boundary. They are each their own entity and don't even coordinate with each other.

Since I raised the question about coordinating, I'm dying to know what the DME-charter conspiracy theorists would like to have seen in the boundary review process with regard to charters. And for the record, my child does not attend a charter.[/quote]
