[quote=Anonymous]I am also curious how the 30% at risk quota for lotterying OOB would work in practice. How would it interact with sibling preference? Would it eliminate sibling preference for non at risk families at some schools? This could be relevant to families with multiple kids who moved out of bounds before all kids started attending or families whose older kids had lotteried OOB under the old system.

How would they estimate at risk at a school? Right now my impression is they estimate it by inflating the collected at risk values for title 1 status assuming underreporting. Would they do the same or use actual reported numbers?

I don't know how I feel about ending feeder rights. There are pros/cons to both policies. As a parent of an OOB kid one of the largest advantages is feeling like you have some ability to control and predict future education choices. One of the largest problems with having a mediocre inbound feeder pattern is not knowing whether you'll have good enough middle and high school. Even if it does work out and your kid can lottery into a good enough middle or high school waiting until 4th, 5th, or 9th grade is stressful enough to want to move now.[/quote]
