[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone help me understand?  In this new scenario will all schools end up with 30% at-risk enrollment?

There's a big difference between 2 homeless kids in a class of 20 and 6 homeless kids in a class of 20.  Did anyone express concern over that number in the meeting?[/quote]

No, the way it will work is, schools that are less than 30% at risk must accept 10% OOB. And at-risk students get preference in the lottery. Their preference is below IB, siblings and preference but above non-at-risk OOB.

So no, the well-regarded schools that are under 30% at risk will never be more than 10% at risk, because IB parents and siblings will take all the spots that are not reserved for at-risk.

Actually, everyone must have a minimum of 10% OOB, not just the schools that have at-risk students under 30%. And with the end of principal discretion to keep formerly in-boundary students who are now OOB, there are probably going to be more OOB spots at some of those WOTP schools. Over time, the policy will ensure that all OOB students are at risk.[/quote]
