[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look at the new OOB preference proposed by the DME prioritizing at-risk kids (homeless, foster children) over all other OOB boundary children in lottery. Would this proposal significantly increase the number of at-risk kids attending Hearst and crowd out all middle-class OOB families. Seems like the implications of this policy could be far reaching for Hearst. Can someone explain?[/quote] Hearst is definitely on the list of schools that has to give priority in the lottery to at risk students. So while the number of OOB students may remain the same, they are more likely to be the lowest income students (homeless, in foster care, on welfare or getting food stamps).[/quote] Isn't DC already doing this because of the No Child Left Behind Act? Or if a student is at an underperforming school, they have an option to enroll elsewhere.[/quote]
