I'm not sure what they would use.  But you could do a household income cutoff.  Or just say everyone who's not at-risk, which is really quite far from affluent for most people, but whatever.  [/quote]

The problem with that is then the other kids arrive IB for K and now you need 8 kindergartens at Janney.[/quote]

??  So don't have such a big preschool program.  [/quote]

Wasn't the whole point of the silly exercise to figure out how to get more at risk kids into preK?[/quote]

Yes, but that does not have to mean the total size of the preschool has to go up.  It just means to use a preference to replace some of the non-at-risk kids with at-risk kids.

If some people who are not at-risk have to go elsewhere or stay in daycare, that is a worthwhile tradeoff.  I just cannot support how everyone's tax money is going to pay for people wealthier than I am to a better school than my child gets, for free.  But that is what is happening in upper NW.[/quote]
