Panel to delay its plan for schools

A special panel considering changes to the way students are assigned to Boston schools will delay a key vote set for Saturday, after Mayor Thomas M. Menino said parents need more time to learn how the changes might affect their family.

In a letter to the External Advisory Committee Tuesday, Menino urged the panel to put off recommending one of three plans under consideration to the School Committee.

Dorchester Reporter had this posted on their site lastnight.  Globe, get with it!

I am not sure how complex the proposals are, each potential students is given a list of schools to choose from that is based on their home address, the list represents a variety of opportunities that they can choose from. I'm not sure why the Globe has such difficulty figuring this out. Go to http://maps.cityofboston.gov/models/ and enter any address in the City of Boston. IF BPS can create an app for this even better.
