[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney is apparently already at 8% oob.[/quote]

Remember that the 10-15% set aside is for at risk OOB, not higher SES OOB.[/quote]

No, it is a preference in the lottery, after OOB with siblings.  I would hope all of you that think this set aside will work because of Janney's proximity to public transportation have read the definition of at risk.  This is not farms or working poor, this is about kids that are homeless and in foster care and similar.  These are children in families with serious functional problems.  I support the concept of making quality education available to them, but I think we will need deducted buses, not public transportation options.  This is likely at least a 1 hour trip each way every day to get children there by 8:45.  I think that is highly optimistic.  The set asides, however, are not limited to at risk kids, this is a set aside for OOB with the described priority so if at risk kids don't take the slots other OOB families will.
