[quote=Anonymous]This seems like a typical DCPS central office presentation which pretends to be community engagement, but at the outset declares so many "nonnegotiable" requirements and premises that the community engagement is significantly hamstrung. I disagree with many of the nonnegotiable statements in this presentation. As one example, the current feeder pattern system has a significant negative side effect of diverting many high achieving students and families away from schools east of the part and actually hurting those neighborhoods schools. Preserving access of out of boundary students into the Wilson feeder pattern in the face of growing in-boundary overcrowding should not be a given that is not open for conversation. It might be the position that the city ends up with after considering the alternatives, but there are other options for achieving equity and providing more opportunities to students in need.[/quote]
