I know the "application only" assertion is false.  The reasons for instituting it are what I'm speculating about.  But as I said, there's a lot of speculation going on in this thread that is being thrown around as the truth.  And it's getting pretty ugly.

In December 2010 I walked into the office at Hardy and told the staff I was interested in applying to have my child attend starting September 2011. They told me I had to fill out an application. I told them I was in-boundary. They told me it didn't matter, everyone had to fill out an application.

It was an application-only school.

But hey, my kid was at Hardy around this time.  So you can listen to my speculation which is honestly labeled as such or you can listen to people who have no connection to the school (then or now) who say they know the truth but are just passing on gossip they heard from someone else.  [/quote]

I disagree. The reason that there is such disagreement about the basic facts about how Hardy was being run 3+ years ago is that the way it was run was cloaked in secrecy. You were told different things at different times. As the Ken Archer story explains, Pope was clearly violating DCPS's rules for student placements. He was trying to do it quietly, and he took pains to conceal what he was doing.

Ken Archer has a comment at 10:35am that says: "Pope's supporters aren't just calling for his reinstatement, they are calling for the reinstatement of this unjust admissions process. Rhee announced the end of this admissions process the same night she announced Pope's reassignment (I was there)." I was there too and both points are exactly true.[/quote]
