An SFUSD district insider commented to me that all the advocacy the Board of Ed is currently hearing is from parents who want neighborhood schools (guaranteed/mandatory). The commenter wondered if the sentiment is that unanimous or if those who favor the current system, offering districtwide choice, are just less vocal.

So I thought I'd point that out in case there are parents who haven't spoken up.

My own view is that I'm really not sure how to make this process work ideally for everyone. Here's my blog post   "A Dose of Reality,"   for anyone interested in the "yes, but..." view.
