[quote=Anonymous]In Wards 7 and 8 the rapid growth of charters and churn between schools are major factors. And a result of fluctuating enrollment is always lower resources which go to kids who need more than the average student to succeed. So people see their schools effectively underresourced, low-attendance, and it's a vicious cycle downward. Ward 3 has very few charters nearby, students don't move, and the local students are primed to succeed instead of needing lots of expensive supports. They have family support. The schools stay full so the programs stay flush, which is self-perpetuating; students keep flowing to schools that are perceived as having resources.[/quote]
