[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all, Martin Austermuhle here, the WAMU reporter that was at LAMB for the lottery drawing. I was actually there for my own kid — didn't get a spot — but then met a woman who got a seat in PK-3. Ended up doing a story about it: https://wamu.org/story/18/03/15/school-lottery-d-c-parents-leave-childrens-futures-hand-fate/[/quote] Martin, the Conor Williams quote and article was from 2014 before the common lottery, right? [L]otteries don’t exist in a vacuum. If each one is neutral, a system of lotteries can still tilt in favor of families with sufficient resources and free time to get around town and apply to as many as possible. A student entered in ten charter school lotteries has a better chance at enrolling at one than a student entered in just one. [/quote]
