[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope that Catania wins, and that he appoints a tough, smart chancellor who pushes through half a dozen major policy changes: *Caps charter enrollment at 50% *Sets up "exam" MS programs (starting in Ward 7; when I attended the DC City Council hearing on boundaries/feeders last year, I was impressed with the parents proposing a ward test-in option) *Forces DCPS to free up many new buildings to Tier 1 charters with cramped and/or crappy facilities *Works with the Council to amend DC Charter Law to create "magnet charters," e.g. schools teaching world languages running lotteries for target language speakers (at least to replace drop-outs) *Set ups ES and MS GT programs, including open, city-wide screening for giftedness for ages 7-14 Yea, I'm dreamin. But then so are Catania and his rising army of parent supporters. These all sound like doable options. [/quote][/quote]
