[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every one of those 60 OOB kids just bailed on their own neighborhood school.  If nothing else, DCPS should consider why that is.[/quote]

OOB enrollment was designed to utilize surplus slots at desirable schools that had capacity.  When a school is enrolled over capacity, to the point where they are needing to shrink its IB area, there shouldn't be any new OOB kids enrolled.  Period.  [/quote]

You must be new around here. Welcome. [/quote]

Right -- OOB enrollment is the District's work-around to the end of 1970s bussing.   OOB in the 2000s is the vehicle for maintaining a degree of integration in DCPS.   OOB will continue so long as the District's leadership is a mix of elected/appointed African Americans and veryliberal Dem whites, who are all (except Matt Frumin) afraid of "optics."

For some reason, the parents and school leadership in AU Park are not perturbed by a school that is ~ 94% white & Asian, and Central allows this.  At all the other Ward 3 schools, this is not cool.[/quote]
