[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yu Ying, may be transparent but its illegal to preference queue standers the way they do. But that is a debate for another thread.[/quote]

You have every right to not like the waitlist process YY uses, but it is entirely legal under the rules and laws that govern the charter school board.  Protest it if you like, complain about it if you like, but don't try to deceive people that it's in any way illegal because it is TOTALLY LEGAL.  Many will argue whether it's fair or not, and that is also another thread, but again, no, not illegal.  And you calling it that doesn't make it true.  It's legal.[/quote]

To be even more clear, it's actually spelled out as an option by the rules that govern all DC charter schools.  They all have the option, but only Stokes and YY had used it in recent years.  So it's not even about vague interpretation.  It's a clearly articulated option that charter schools can take, and YY chose it.[/quote]

Just noticed you said "preferencce queue standers", what do you mean by that?  Do you realize that for at least the last 3 years, people applying online also became part of the precious, coveted "top of the waitlist" applicants?  There are several kids in my kid's class who applied online and were in the first 10 on the waitlist.  So if your point is that somehow those in line have an advantage over the internet, explain that please?  What specifically are you basing that on?[/quote]
