[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you consider integrated?  What about latinos?  Is there some percentage that would mean “integrated”—my kid attends her IB title 1 school. We are white and the school is only 7% white. However there are a lot of I white families who can’t get into PK because there is a preference for spa ish dominant lids. Should the school be forced to drop the preference to allow even more non Spanish speaking kids into the school?  It’s 70% Latino and bilingual. OP I know you have good intentions but first people need to agree to what this means. [/quote]

All kids will be able to attend their neighborhood school from K and beyond, no matter their race.[/quote]

Every kid can attend their neighborhood school from K on. They choose not too. Until DCPS gets serious about providing educational opportunities to serve kids at all levels, parents will seek them out elsewhere. DCPS has shown they do not want any tracking of a classes and thats an issue for a lot of parents.[/quote]

EXXACTLY that is what a neighborhood school is, they just don't want to![/quote]

If all of the in-boundary parents sent their kids to the neighborhood school where I live, it wouldn’t be integrated, it would be close to 100% white. [/quote]

No it wouldn't.  Even the whitest neighborhoods in the city haven't produced schools that are close to 100% white. [/quote]

Uh ... yeah it would. There are way more kids in this neighborhood than seats. If *all* of the parents sent them, which is the silly hypothetical of this thread, the school would look like the neighborhood here and in Ward 3. [/quote]
