[quote=Anonymous]If they want to move to lottery, they need to do some version of what Seattle used to do (note that Seattle ended this a number of years ago). It was a lottery with guarantees that you could access one of a set of four neighborhood elementary schools but the option to lottery into some specialized schools. It reduces the uncertainty for families that want neighborhood schools but provides incentives to spread high SES kids throughout the city in the form of progressive education models that are citywide. This provided space for more kids in the successful neighborhood schools plus a good number of high SES kids attending the specialized schools. The problem with a city wide lottery is that nobody wants it, not even the families that you all think would benefit most from it. I went to the boundary reivew meetings, there was zero support for all lottery outside the extreme school reform advocates without children in the system.[/quote]
