[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calling it "proximity preference" is such a joke.  If there are no inbounds kids, then proximity preference is a de facto boundary.  It's not a "compromise"-- if you give people around SWS proximity preference, you are CREATING A BOUNDARY.  So let's just be honest about that, okay?

Fine.  But "proximity" is actually very small compared to an "inbound boundary."  I think the largest "proximity" they are considering is 3000 feet from the school, which is only roughly two blocks.  This will still allow for others outside the "boundary" a chance to get in.[/quote]

Not true. There were 7 non-sibling seats for PK3 this year. Those would be sucked up in a heartbeat by proximity families, leaving others outside the boundary SOL.[/quote] Because having a grand total of 7 seats for the entire city to divvy up in a lottery is a really critical thing?  Sorry, the school isn't "citywide" if it's only offering 7 seats to the entire city.  That's more like a private school or country club.  [/quote]

um, no. those 23 other seats may be sibs, but they're public school students like anywhere else in the public school system.  How is sibling preference different for SWS than it is for any other DCPS or charter school?[/quote]
