Boston schools to consider assignment plan

The Boston School Committee will give serious consideration to a proposal to make the biggest change in nearly 25 years to the way the city assigns students to schools, its chairman said Wednesday night moments before hearing a presentation.

“We won’t make this decision lightly,” said Michael O’Neill, the School Committee chairman. “We know the significance of the change they [the mayor’s panel] are presenting and it will have an impact on families and students in the years to come.”

Laughing as I read Michael O'Neill's comments about making the decision. This is an appointed school board and the mayor wants this plan. It's a done deal.  You know it...I know it...anyone with a head on their shoulders knows it.
