MAY 27 RSD MEETINGS
Superintendent's Report
Thanked Coghill Elementary School for hosting the meeting
Top choice schools tend to be those with fewer poor and more white children
Many families do not trust the enrollment system
OPSB should be allowed to open more schools around town because parents seem to favor OPSB schools over RSD schools
One parent alleged that his private phone number was given by the OneAPP office to a Type 5 charter to recruit his child because the school had 30 unfilled vacancies
Staff will meet with him to discuss
Staff said such an action would have been improper
One person complained about a lack of trust for the staff at a closing charter school with regards to the reassignment of its students
