[quote=Anonymous]I think this is all really smart.  If you listen to the meeting there is a lot of talk about the policy versus the PIP  (policy implementation plan).  The board publishes the policy and staff figure out how to implement it.  The reason we were in such a mess with the choice schools recently is that things that were supposed to temporary  (i.e. specific school preferences for Claremont based on where immersions students were coming from at the time Claremont was established) stayed in effect because staff did not have the power to change them and board action is slow and requires a lot of public input.  The board will dictate the overall policy and the staff can work on transition plans (i.e. I imagine families with kids already at Randolph would be given permission to stay if they want, but who knows).  Having the implementation in the PIP allows the staff to make changes as needed more efficiently (as long as the policy is being followed).  This is all just guessing--I have no inside knowledge, but it seems like the system will have some initial flexibility to get to this long term goal.
