[quote=Anonymous]There does seem to be a lot of confusion on the board about the rules regarding charter schools. They are required by law to have only first come, first serve lotteries. If they think they have a better educational model than the public schools, they are required to prove that it really works without creaming off wealthier or more involved parents. Oyster can have a two tier lottery because they are a DCPS magnet program. A DCPS school can become a charter school, provided it can come up with a board and get community buy in to do so. A charter school cannot become a DCPS school. To do so, they would have to convince DCPS to start a magnet program, and all teacher and administrators would fall under DCPS jurisdiction and regulations, which is what charter schools are set up to avoid.[/quote]
