[quote=Anonymous]I'm an OOB parent at a elementary school that is currently 45 percent at-risk. We are a middle income family and our child is not an English learner and not in special education.

Would I be able to keep sending my child to our school under this proposal? Our current plan is to keep them there through grade 5.

Would another parent like me who didn't previously have a kid at the school be able to enroll since we are above the 30 percent threshold?

I think the answer to both of these questions is yes, but asking those who went to the meeting or are on the committee.

Would I - and would this theoretical new parent - retain feeder rights to our middle school, which is currently 29 percent at-risk? (I'm less certain of this one.)

Assuming we can stay at our elementary and retain feeder rights to our middle, I think this is a good plan, both equity-wise and selfishly. (And yes, before you point it out, DCUM, I'm for what's good for equity as long as I get to stay in my preferred schools, which is yes, hypocritical and I realize that). I also think my school (disadvantaged population but good feeder and reputation) could benefit enrollment-wise under this plan. [/quote]
