[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So....the plan is to create a majority white magnet because the other magnet is too, how shall we say this, urban? No. [/quote] If it assigns slots by Ward, as suggested, then it is impossible that it could be majority white, given the demographics of DCPS. It wouldn't solve the problem of providing an alternative neighborhood school for upper NW families, but that's not the concern of the proposal.[/quote] The last thing DC needs is affirmative action for a magnet school. Ward quotas would dillute the quality. Let students get in on their merits. It will be better for the creme of Ward 8's youth if they get in on their own strengths in a city's-wide applicant pool.[/quote]
