[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes - winning people back from charters is an important consideration - [b]but don't be surprised if you get blow back from any plan that involves depleting charters [/b]-- from the charters -- and from the corporate interests in the city and the country that would like to see the whole city go charter. Consider - right now we have "choice," and being proposed are "controlled choice" and "lottery for all." Nothing seems focused on strengthening neighborhood schools and a lot seems set to weaken them.[/quote]

Really?

I don't think it's possible for DCPS to deplete charters.

Also, I firmly believe that[b] if everyone has a decent neighborhood school choice[/b], then those who choose charters will be even more dedicated to their decision than the pack of desperate parents who apply now.[/quote]

Doh!

Students in HS EoTP - DO NOT!!! repeat DO NOT!!! have a decent neighborhood high school.

The only group that has a decent neighborhood HS is the "neighborhood" that is IB for Wilson.  The next closest option for creating a good neighborhood school is to create a new WoTP HS and possibly split the Wilson and up-coming surge of high school students into this new HS -- which has been proposed for Western/Ellington site.  At that point, you might have locked in WoTP attendence in quality HS and have created some additional OOB seats to take some of the EoTP students.

Or you could rebuild Eastern, or Roosevelt... [/quote]
