RSIS Enrollment Policy

If you are interested, 281 Exposed and myself are having a dialogue regarding the year old Spanish Immersion enrollment process/policy.

281Exposed Lottery or Cherry Picking?

Please feel free to leave your comments here or there, if you have any thoughts to add.

I would like to say that I believe that the policy should be reviewed before next years enrollment to see if any of the "Special Provision" need to be limited. Also, where are the demographics going based on the new incoming students?

When you make "Special Provision" the APPEARANCE is that some people are getting "Special Treatment".

Are students of teachers in other schools within RAS given the same "Special Treatment"? If not, I could say that this policy at RSIS is discriminatory? The same for each of the other "Special Provision". Was any of this reviewed?

Many questions on the FAIRNESS ISSUE?!

Any thoughts?

Give--I know you've expressed some mostly well-founded criticism of RSI in the past--seems like you're offering a pretty evenhanded analysis of the situation here.

I'm not sure what the shouting is all about. I could be wrong, but I believe it went something like this: there was a policy, it was criticized, it was reviewed by admin, staff, citizens (district wide) and now there's a new policy. Did the critics participate when there was a (well-publicized) opportunity to do so?

Nothing will please everyone.
