Interesting that they were the cheaters?[/quote]

Applying for a special placement =/= cheating.

It's allowed. Anyone can do it.

The chancellor could approve or deny. That is still the case -- except current and former city officials are ineligible. But anyone else in the city, or on this thread, can.

Of course it's cheating. The placements were only given to DC government employees and Kaya's friends. A teacher asked for a placement and Kaya was insulted the person would even ask. It's all in the Post story https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/secret-report-shows-special-treatment-for-public-officials-in-dc-school-lottery/2017/05/17/55b0b1fc-3a82-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html

In the year that Post looked at. My neighbor’s child got one the year before because of unresolved bullying. No connections whatsoever and the kid is white.

That situation is what the placements were supposed to be for and why they were not eliminated completely.
