Why not? The last chancellor got fired for messing around with this. Actually, I'd love a good excuse to get Ferebee fired.

Why?!

Because PP won’t be happy with a chancellor until they’re white.

I just think he’s lackluster and a lap dog of the mayor.

I spent 10 minutes this afternoon figuring out the son's name (which I won't share). But there isn't anything online (social media) which indicates where he attends. My bet is on Wilson.

Unless his wife comes without him. I don't even know her name.

Wilson back to school night is this Wed. Let's all be on the look-out!

I’m pretty sure he is not at Duke Ellington. My son is a 9th grader there

This. Antwan told us all to send our kids to our IB DCPS school, even the worst of the worst schools. Then he broke the rules and sent his kid to Wilson because his IB school wasn't good enough for his kid. If Wilson isn't even good enough for Ferebee's kid, then DCPS can NEVER again tell us that any DCPS is good enough for ours.

This was my problem with Fenty. He made the school issue the public's business by saying he'd send the twins to DCPS local, but his then wife Michelle was NEVER on board with it. He was talkin' out his neck.

Then Antwan did the same and blamed HIS wife for asking and getting a transfer. Seriously? How could he not know?

Say what you will about Kaya and Michelle Rhee, they both walked the walk when it came to their own kids. At that time it was DCPS policy to give the chancellor full control over placements. Rhee didn't use it as much as people thought. Kaya only did it when Muriel told some new staffers and old friends they could like 3 weeks before school. (Trust me. Central office was not happy about it.)

I honestly don't remember Ferrebee making any promises, so I'm not bothered about a high school kid legitimately getting into a selective DCPS or a specialized charter or private that doesn't offer what DCPS has (like religion, special needs, etc.)

So which school is it?

+Fenty!! Never forget that. Because we did and he did it a second time!

All DC officials have to go on record where they send their kids for this reason.

I think it depends on the kid. I'd add that, for various reasons that have been discussed here before, many AA families in the neighborhood opt out of Wilson in favor of Walls, private, parochial, etc.,
