[quote=Anonymous]Ask him if he'd consider ending the current rule (in place since 2009) that once you get in to an OOB school you get to go to its destination school.

Ending this rule would:

* keep more kids in good elementaries and middle schools that don't feed Wilson (all of Ward 6 now with the boundary changes, also Ross and probably others) through grade 5...thus raising their test scores and allowing for more of the per-pupil funding

* reduce overcrowding at Deal, Wilson, and their feeders

* allow people who moved to the area with older kids or weren't successful in elementary school lotteries to have a chance of attending Deal and Wilson OOB

This is my main issue with the DME's plan.  I know there are parents who got into Hearst and would raise hell if that meant they didn't have a right to Wilson over the next couple decades for their 3yo and his unborn siblings, but she could have grandfathered those kids in and changed the rule going forward.  I hope Catania will consider making that change.
