[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do people suggest for the overcrowded schools, if not changing boundaries? Actual suggestions.[/quote]

Feeder rights. Plain and simple. Deal is 31% OOB. Are people ok with that? Even if you're not willing to cut feeder rights the elementaries should cap the OOB enrollment even if it means cutting funding.[/quote]

So, let me get this straight, are you arguing for eotp feeder rights to Deal, but that otherwise OOB families should not be allowed to go to Deal?[/quote]

NP. I agree. I do not think its fair for Eaton to lose Deal and Hearst and others have 80% OOB to make Deal, the "overcrowded" school have 30% OOB. [/quote]

and let's not forget that the OOB "automatic feeder rights" were only established by Rhee in 2009.  In the past, OOB kids had to lottery in to ES, then MS, then HS.  There was no "one and done" for them.  If any right is not truly vested, it is the recent right created by Michelle Rhee, which is the true cause of the overcrowding of Deal and Wilson. She had no long term vision, and no long term commitment to DC.  We were her stepping stone, and she, combined with the recession that led more IB WOTP kids to go to their IB schools, created the overcrowding, the educational campuses that closed the middle schools, and the crazy standards above and beyond that led to rampant cheating that was never investigated.

I think the automatic feeder rights for OOB students created in 2009 which are much more recent than 40 year old feeder patterns is what should have been taken away, especially with the automatic 25% set asides now for "at risk" kids.[/quote]
