[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Everyone is assuming that "neighborhood preference" has to be the 1500 feet from the school rule. I don't see any reason why that has to be the case, especially with boundary changes coming. I think this is an opportunity for DCPS to rethink the boundaries entirely. In my opinion, this petition just asks them to have a preference for those who live in the neighborhood - however that might be defined.[/quote] DCPS has made it abundantly clear that they have no interest in creating new enrollment exceptions for SWS or any other individual schools. In other words, 1500 feet is the established norm for proximity and that's how it applies everywhere. While other schools may interested in expanding proximity, it limits school choice even further for OOB students seeking access to neighborhood schools which do not fill with IB kids. It's like IB-lite[/quote]
