Wrong.  In DC, there is a right to attend the neighborhood school.  So, if DCPS decides to take that right away from some families, then the door opens to litigation as a consequence of that loss.  The only way for DCPS to avoid this is to replace the old "neighborhood school" with a new "neighborhood school" that still looks like it is in the neighborhood.  You can't force parents to cart their kids halfway across the city to a "neighborhood school," unless the parents are doing it by choice, like to a charter school.[/quote]

So you're basing this push for litigation on the threat that some families will lose right to their neighborhood school.

Yet all evidence (and rational thought) points toward an effort to keep families at their neighborhood schools.[/quote]

Yes, families want to KEEP their neighborhood schools.  That's the concern behind the threat to sue -- what are you missing?[/quote]
