[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Few questions: a) [b]did Wilson's daughter go through the whole Ellington admissions process?[/b] b) what was their in-boundary school? Was this double use of influence?

It seems like all these issues happen at the start of the school year. Maybe public figures should have transfer requests that aren't special education or safety related put on hold until after count day.

Or maybe the school board should approve high level transfers. Whatever, it feels like we have bigger issues in the fact that the chancellor didn't even know his own rules. I truly hope Bowser doesn't bring in someone from outside DC who can't figure out the crazy DC enrollment issues.

Can we just confirm Alexander and get on with it?[/quote]

She supposedly was accepted at Walls too.  I didn't understand why they didn't pursue that or another application school rather than Wilson unless it was a space issue.  Had she been accepted that would have been defensible.[/quote]

Except you can't be 'accepted' at 2 application schools. Assuming you go through the lottery process, if you apply to 2 application high schools and both schools are prepared to admit you, you only get into the one you ranked higher and the second falls off your list.

It may have come out later (when Niles was calling around on her behalf) that SWW offered her a slot but the system is set up to not allow a student to hold 2 spaces at an application school at once. [/quote]
