[quote=Anonymous]Since DC is viewed as a state as far as federal education dollars and OSSE is the Office of [b]State[/b] Superintendent of Education, OSSE could designation multiple school "districts" in the District of Columbia just like most states have multiple school districts.  Some charters are running like that now with multiple campuses/grades etc.  Many places in the midwest there are separate school districts for elementary/middle schools and high schools typically divided at the town/community level and respectively township level.  Two or three towns with 3-4 ES/MS each feed one township HS.  Certainly would get governance down to a very local level, but as others have mentioned there would be issues with demographics and funding resources unless some sort of equalization of resources happened at the tax administration/OSSE level.  Demographics (race/ethnicity/ESL/income) would be a much hard element to address to make all kids had equal access to good education across the disctrict.  Though it might get away from the uncertainty and general craziness that is the OOB process.[/quote]
