[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with a PP that they need to end feeder rights as well as the discretion rule where you can stay at school after moving OOB. Deal is 26% OOB. That’s nearly 400 students that don’t live IB.[/quote]

Why do they "need" to do this? Why should these kids have any less right to go to Deal than the kids of those of us who live in the neighborhood? [/quote]

So make all middle school and high school admissions by lottery, with no geographic preference.[/quote]

DP here. I don't agree with this because then anyone who can will flee DCPS and it will be as bad as it was 30 years ago. However, I don't think we should kick out current OOB kids from the feeders. They bought into a feeder pattern and it's not fair to yank that away after it's too late for them to take any other options they would have chosen.

FWIW we're IB for Deal and Wilson. We're Deal parents and while Deal is a big school, I don't see how it's overcrowded. And please spare me the hand waving about the trailers. I've been inside them pre-COVID and they're perfectly acceptable spaces for learning. [/quote]

My MCPS elementary school had trailers 35 years ago, so I’m not particularly worried about that, either. [/quote]

My kids have been in trailers for the majority of their DCPS ES years and they are fine. But Deal is overcrowded, even with trailers. [/quote]
