[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this would all make more sense if there were in fact specialized city wide programs in all parts of the city.  Then yes, let's make all of them citywide. But the only ones treated like this are on Capitol Hill, a mile a part. [/quote]

Agreed!  DCPS, please initiate more specialized programs, but keep them city-wide, AND put them in other wards.  But please, don't set a precedent with SWS and Logan by allowing the neighbors easier access to these schools.  Every address should have an in-bounds, by-right school within walking distance.  For unique programs such as this, all children should have a fair chance at entrance.  [/quote]

I agree with the first poster.  If DCPS decides to go with a system of city-wide specialty programs, that would be great.  SWS and Logan could be part of a city-wide system of schools that have enough seats at great schools so people can really choose a program that is best for their child.  If DCPS decides not to go in that direction, it doesn't make sense to have two random city-wide schools and every other school is based on the preference for neighborhood kids  Either go with the idea that DCPS is a system of neighborhood schools and city-side specialty programs in every ward and those specialty programs are given newly renovated spaces out of the ward's cache of school space OR go with the idea that DCPS is organized around the idea of neighborhood schools alone.  But, right now it seems like there is one system for most of the city and then these two random schools.  [/quote]
