Excuse me, worry, not sorry.

Why shouldn't siblings get prefernences?

I see pluses and minuses. On the one hand the sorry is that wealthy areas will just create their own private public schools. On the other it's frustrating when you can't get into a good charter in your neighgorhood.

But how would this work when charters move? Or is it only for charters with permanent buildings? Does a long term lease from DCPS qualify as permanent?

This is a great idea. To work, though, it would be important not to grandfather sibling preferences.

Does the actual bill say that? The article implies that it would cover all charters--there's even a quote from a KIPP representative.


There is no bill. I just don't see it happening unless it looks like what Kaya is proposing. I think the guy from Friendship hit the nail on the head.

As a parent- why would you chose to send your child to a commercial space along CT as opposed to Deal?


Not all of Ward 3 is zoned for Deal, as anyone who lives south of Massachusetts Avenue will be quick to tell you.

Wilson was at UDC.
