I think it is a holistic process with no test. 1.5% from each middle school will be represented.

It’s shocking how little respect these board members have for underrepresented students.


So they want home delivery of TJ on a platter for some kids, but other should move to different schools? Got it.

Wow, now they are setting quotas for middle schools within the third year! No focus on pipeline, are kids ready, are kids even interested! They plan to kill TJ, it’s just in slo-mo.

So the 1.5% minimum is based on attending rather than base middle school, so the kids who attend the middle schools with AAP centers get penalized compared to those attending schools with lower-performing cohorts. Big middle finger to Carson in particular.

Thank God for Megan for pointing out how little clarity there is about what they will shortly be approving.
