[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, the charter law and implementing regs don't contain any language that, in order for a new school to be approved, it needs to either 1. be universally appealing to all DC families or 2. it MAY appeal to a niche group, BUT that group needs to be historically underserved, poor, and probably in Wards 6, 7 or 8.

There are several PPs on here who keep saying that it's NOT OK for this proposed Wash. Hebrew to appeal to a limited subset of DC residents (affluent people! smart people!) .... but it is most certainly OK that other charters appeal to a limited subset of DC residents since, you know, they're downtrodden.

That's your opinion. Not the law.

It's also the political reality in DC.  Whether or not you want to see it.  So ignore it at your peril, and watch the DC leadership kill your proposal.

Or, you could drop the self-righteous schtick about your constitutional right to appeal to affluent people! and smart people! And then you could rework your pitch so it sounds like you're at least trying to have a broader appeal.[/quote]
