Position Revision Regarding School Choice

In an earlier post (here), Nadia stated her support for all of 4J Superintendent George Russell's recommendations in his report of school choice. Upon further reading and discussion, Nadia wants to emphasize her support for the ongoing existence of alternative schools, balanced with the need for changes to be made to increase equity. Nadia supports the assessment that alternative schools should be reviewed in reference to their efficacy and community impacts. She also believes that an open lottery, without a system of privileges, is key to increasing the accessibility of alternative schools for less priviledged children.

These are complex and difficult issues; we can only hope to learn from each others' experiences and formulate policy together as best as possible.
