[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An idea mentioned a couple months ago from another thread was to allow parents full rights to transfer to any school in their region as they wish. Perhaps each region could have a designated Academy, a designated IB school, a designated language immersion pyramid, etc. That would give some meaningful use to regions. Otherwise regions really have no practical use for the community, it's only an administrative tool.[/quote]

Woe to the decent school in a region with high poverty schools. Region 3 gets around it now by having all schools with highish poverty rates, but region 2 has some of the poorest and richest schools Marshall and McLean would be over capacity from the second a right of transfer exists. [/quote]

I think you would be surprised. A good number of parents would not move their kids. The transportation issues are going to be harder for lower income families. You might see families the small percent of families that are middle class at those schools look to transfer but those might be the families that have been sending kids to private school already.
