[quote=Anonymous]"...shifting from a general at-risk allocation to a strictly proportional at-risk allocation can be a difficult shift for schools like Wilson with lower percentages of at-risk students."  Hmmmm.  Exactly.  They've got one huge, over-enrolled school population -- Wilson -- which is also one of the only DCPS successes, which shows the at-risk allocation policy DCPS decided to implement is simply foolish, principally because it critically wounds one of its only success stories, Wilson.  Wilson has a great many at-risk students, but also a great many more total students, thereby showing that a proportional allocation makes no sense for a school like Wilson.  And, of course, DCPS refuses to make an exception for its policy that doesn't work (an exception that hardly anyone would have a problem with) because it's leadership can't handle the prospect of granting an exception.

In business school, it is taught that successful organizational leaders are "agile" in planning and implementation.  This policy, as well as its defense, is the opposite of "agile."

Gonna be a long four years, folks.  I am sad for the future of Wilson.[/quote]
