[quote=Anonymous]--there is a demographic portion of the application in which the parts of the city and student populations that will be targeted for this school will live. As well as an area where you indicate your proposed school location. I would assume that the charter school board, upon review of the application, would identify whether those are a problem. You know, when they know what the schools board plans, vs speculation on an anonymous Internet message board

--- On this, does anyone really expect the applicants to write, " we know that Hebrew isn't a world language and it really only draws interest from Jewish parents who want their children to have this cultural element as part of their education. And yes, as a general matter, many of those parents will be middle class or better, and certainly not FARMS families. They will very likely come from areas with either an established or growing Jewish population, i.e., west of RCP or parts of Wards 1 and 4 and the Hill with significant white populations, and this school intends to serve them culturally and academically. Familes from other wards or backgrounds who think their kids would get a better education through bilingualism, generally but not in a practically useful way, along with the privilege of going to school with Jewish children who we expect to succeed will also be interested in our school.

They won't write that, so the Board won't have that to evaluate. [/quote]
