[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good way to keep diversity at Hardy, deal, and JR while reducing overcrowding would be to end feeder rights. If you get in to hyde-addison for Pre-K, it shouldn't guarantee you a space through 12th grade. There are families that can't get a little kid across town but would enter the middle school or HS lottery. [/quote]

I would agree and it would also allow Deal and JR to be able to take kids in from lottery using at risk preference and the kids would largely be old enough to take metro to school.[b] You end OOB rights, you automatically make almost all the kids that come in through literary diverse both racially and economically.[/b][/quote]

What?  That doesn't make any sense.  The lottery is a lottery, not a quota system.  In no way would it "automatically make almost all the kids" that win economically and racially diverse.

There are some deeply unserious people on this board.[/quote]

You clearly don’t know how the at risk set aside rule works.

Deal is currently 22% OOB. Fair to say since only 1-2 kids a week come in from the lottery, all of those OOB kids are coming from having feeder rights.

I’d Deal ended their OOB feeder rights today, they would then have 300 lottery spots they could make available next year. If they have at risk preference, they could do it where 100% of those spots go to at risk kids. [/quote]

Deal's building capacity is 1200 and it sits around 1450-1475 enrolled.  Removing OOB feeder rights would not open up 300 lottery spots, it would simply remove 250-275 kids from attendance.  And even if you did not realize that Deal is overcrowded, then you should know that the at-risk preference is not 100 percent of the lottery seats offered.  Anywhere.  Like I said, deeply unserious people posting here.  [/quote]
