Yes, yes. Everyone agrees that some boundary changes were and are necessary.  Why do people keep talking about boundary changes and student assignment policies like they are the same thing?  THEY ARE NOT.  A large majority of the proposals for new student assignment policies would completely do away with the idea of BOUNDARIES.[/quote]

BOUNDARIES did not come down off the mountain with Moses, they are just a tool.  And in this public school landscape with nearly half of the students attending charter schools, it might be okay to ask if they even make sense in all cases.   If you plot where kids EOTP actually attend school, it would look like someone shot the boundary map with a load of buckshot.

Charters and OOB are the reality for the foreseeable future. So why should the schools be tied down to a nearly obsolete convention?

None of this precludes or excuses DCPS from making neighborhood schools that people actually want to send their children to.[/quote]
