[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LAMB also used to (illegally) run a separate lottery for Spanish speakers. They had to stop when the charter board intervened, but that means that with sibling preference you still also have a lot of kids coming from the heavily populated Latino neighborhoods like Adams Morgan.[/quote]

Please point out the law or statute on this.  You have no clue of what you are talking about[/quote]

Not the poster you are responding to, but LAMB did have a form for spanish dominant applicants. This was maybe 2 years ago when I was interested in attending. [/quote]

Yes, because their approved charter allowed it. However, it was not "illegal" the charter school board asked them to amend it and they agreed.

Before you claim "illegal" you may want to actually read the statute. [/quote]

The law only allows two preferences - founder and sibling. Everything else is illegal. Other charter schools like YY have tried to get this changed to no avail.[/quote]
