Well, assuming all of the data and relevant emails will be made available, the next step would be to subpoena Kaya Henderson about what she did.  As long as she doesn't lie, she's not going to be in any legal jeopardy.  As for her future employment prospects, probably not so great.[/quote]

Grosso loves Kaya and would never do anything that would put her in bad spot. Plus he was in charge of oversight during these years so could potentially reflect badly on him. This is just window dressing for us dumb voters[/quote]

+1 Yup.  Lottery data will not show anything as these are discretionary spots.  Grosso will say x thousand kids were fairly matched in the lottery process, and these 7 cases were aberrations.[/quote]

7X4=almost 30. and that is if 7 is representative and not a low outlier. [b]All those kids need to be out at the end of the year[/b].  Their parents can afford to move IB. It might be they can only apply this to government officials (so kaya's friend and Fenty is off the hook). But at least we can eliminate this as a perk of office! Maybe this will be the beginning of the end of cronyism in DC - but only if there are immediate consequences. I feel much more strongly about this than about residency cheaters, which happens by those who make less than 100,000 a year and don't have the same economic (though inconvenient) options these people have.[/quote]

That makes zero sense. The children were placed in those schools within the approved process; Kaya had discretion and she used it. There is no reason or justification to remove kids at those schools who now have a right to their feeder pattern. [/quote]

These public officials acted unethically and knowingly accepted a public benefit, at the expense of residents. They should either give back the seats or resign. [/quote]
