[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Does the charter law prohibiting any barriers to entry that is specific to DC mean that the city council, mayor, DCPC and OSSE lack tools at their disposal to enable DC language immersion charters to legally set up the sort of language dominant lotteries DCPS supports? It sounds like Congress would have to amend the law to take away the right for each DC charter to be able to decide its own LEA for this to happen. Is that right? [/quote] Yes - Congress would need to amend the 20-year old DC charter law. No one at the city-level has the power to change it. And, like the PP, I'm the parent of a SN student who would work hard against that. My kids also went to LAMB, and I know that the dual-language program woudl be stronger if they could screen for language background or proficiency in teh lottery, but that programmatic goal doesn't trump the civil rights issue for me.
