Re: [WardFive] Learn more about the new common school lottery

Please ask for the Federal Legislation that governs whether or not it is legal for our City Council to pass a bill that states that Charters must hold a lottery for kids living in the neighborhood first and then hold a lottery for kids throughout the city.  I believe that if a Charter in NW can have the "Option" to allow kids from the neighborhood entry into their school first, then we should be able to make that a mandatory part of the lottery system.
