[quote=Anonymous]This is why I would like to see a copy of the proposed legislation--- if the intent is to only apply it prospectively---i.e., no existing charter school would be subject to the locational preference requirement---that is a slightly different issue. However, I still think it is a terrible idea. One of the core ideas behind charters is to allow the innovation to create schools that have a particularly bent and focus. Forcing a locational requirement undercuts that goal, e.g., if my only "locational perference" charter is Yu Ying and my choice is Yu Ying or an underperforming DCPS, then I would probably either suck it up and choose Yu Ying (and be a lackluster addition to their mission) or else move out of the District altogether. Neither of those results is what District policymakers should want. [/quote]
