[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do people think of this idea? We had better start asking our council members what they think. Hearing that Tommy Wells may be introducing a bill to give ward-based admissions preferences for charter schools. [/quote] The Tommy Wells plan and associated legislation would destroy specialized charters and leave kids East of the Park stranded. Tommy's staff point person should consider the needs of the whole City not just Hill people who want a "high-quality public school I can walk to." We can't all have that option right away. Specialized and other charters fill in the gaps for all of DC. It's not a matter of wooly-headed "fairness" or "equity" to destroy charters for the Hill and a few other places with resources as we return to the old system.[/quote] Who is the lead for Wells on this legislation? We need a meeting.[/quote]
