[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me this seems like a piece of the proposal that really needs to get fleshed out a bit and perhaps clarified.  It is worded a bit strangely, in that there is the 10% set-aside, and then also the language about 30% at risk.  And it's not clear if it's school-wide or at each grade, etc., which would have very different implications.    So I guess at this point it's so hard to say what the implications would be for any school, since so much is in flux and unclear (and given the rising in=bounds rate at Hearst; next year's pK class is at 60% or so).

I do think this is a very important issue for the DME to be asked to flesh out more, since this new at-risk designation and potential lottery preference (up to 30% of a school's population) does (I think) reduce options quite a bit for middle class families who don't qualify as "at risk" but yet who are looking for schooling options for their kids.

It's an issue I'm going to bring up at the DME's meeting tomorrow night.

Last night, they clarified that it was school-wide, not by grade.[/quote]
