There’s a easy response to the waitlist downside described in “Why some Seattle students can’t attend the school of their choice” (Ed Lab, April 29): Seattle College Board Coverage 3130 states that households can apply for project to a college aside from their scholar’s project faculty, and if there are “extra candidates than area out there for college students, a longtime set of tiebreakers shall apply.” The plain which means of the coverage is that college students needs to be enrolled within the faculty of their alternative if there’s “area out there.”
The present district practices round managing enrollment and waitlists will not be in keeping with Coverage 3130 or Superintendent Process 3130SP. The College Board ought to inform the Superintendent that he and the employees want to vary their practices so they’re in keeping with the coverage.
