When the Board of Ed meets next week, they'll be voting to send out for public comment a revision to vocational school admission regulation that, to use the Boston Globe summary:
...that would bar the schools from ranking students based on selective criteria like grades, recommendations from guidance counselors, and personal interviews. Instead, they would be limited to using attendance and discipline as screening criteria for students to enter the lottery pool.
It has certainly seemed to me, as one who has been watching this closely, that the sense was that the state would lose a discrimination case on this. Nonetheless, an important step.
