[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were people actually expecting the proposal to address improving schools? I thought the purpose was to right-size the boundaries. It seems to me the conversation or plans to improve schools should continue beyond this proposal.[/quote]

Well, I was at least hoping it wouldn't make things worse. And if you have middle income people "stuck" at low performing schools, unable to get out as they can now, ad the most motivated at-risk families leaving, the middle income families will opt out of DCPS entirely. [/quote]

I thought everyone wanted neighborhood schools.  The first proposal with choice sets was rejected.  Am I missing something?[/quote]

I'd say that the biggest outcry was for neighborhood schools - and it would require both parents and DCPS "stepping up" to help make good neighborhood schools happen.

Though school improvement was not the focus of the boundary plan I think DCPS must make its intent to facilitate good neighborhood schools very clear very fast.  I'm afraid people have too much bad experience with DCPS to spend much time hanging around hoping for the best.[/quote]
