[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think charter teachers should get preference for the many reasons already listed. But what about setting a maximum percentage of sibling and teacher set asides - no more than 30% of each class? That would ensure spots remain open for others in the city. [/quote] This makes no sense. Sibling preference is already written into charter and DCPS law/policy as a preference with no limits. Some of the most popular charters see their incoming classes taken up 50% or 60% with sibs right off the bat, or even closer to 90% at some schools. Then when you add the sibs of newly admitted students (on the off chance someone with no prior connection to the school gets an open slot), there's nothing left. Add in kids of teachers and you have zero new slots at the most popular schools. No good, no good at all.[/quote]
