how is the "history and culture" any different than any other neighborhood school?  It never functioned as a standard "neighborhood school" before since only 1/2 the students were below K and not guaranteed neighborhood seats.  Even SWS K didn't guarantee neighborhood seats -- only Peabody did.  there was never any kind of proximity preference for SWS in its old location. Its boundary included families as far east as Barney Circle and Stadium Armory area via the Cluster

DCPS didnt' intend to create another neighborhood school to fight over boundary lines.  SWS was intended as a specialized program to compete with charters and complement other DCPS offerings.[/quote]

Not true.  K retained the Cluster boundary for enrollment priority until SWS landed in a new home. Cluster boundary families got priority for K at Logan Annex, but I'm not sure if that preference was before or after Peabody families who had a one time option to move between Peabody and SWS at the time of the split (both ways -- SWS families were allowed to move to Peabody).  FWIW there was more movement from SWS to Peabody than vice versa.  Don't know if proximity applied at the Annex, but the Cluster boundary definitely did.[/quote]
