[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that Ward 3 parents purchased expensive houses and thus should be entitled to their neighborhood schools. Many, many of us have devoted blood, sweat and tears over recent years to improving these neighborhood schools. And that's why the possibility of losing access to them (either through shifting boundaries at ES or citywide lotteries in older grades) is so unpalatable. Ward 3 parents have done the hard work of building community. We get it. And we do support other wards in their efforts to improve their neighborhood schools.

+1 I don't get the mentality why once your schools have improved- you should no longer be able to attend them. I've been a Ward 3 parent for many, many years and the schools have come a long way. There is no comparison now to where they were 10 years ago. Parents, myself included, have worked tirelessly to improve them and get parents to keep their kids in DCPS. Why should that be undone? I don''t have a problem setting aside a % of the school for FARMS or OOB or whatever they decide, but it should not preempt my child from attending the school.
