ICYMI: San Francisco's school board voted 4-3 to reinstate merit based admissions, removing the lottery system that has been in place over the past year.
voted 4-3 to reinstate merit based admissions, removing the lottery system that has been in place over the past year.
The vote came after two years of bitter debate which put Lowell under scrutiny and contributed to the recall of three school board members who supported the lottery system, including the then-board president Gabriela López. All three newly appointed school board members who are also public school parents – Ann Hsu, Lainie Motamedi, and Lisa Weissman-Ward – voted for the restoration.
Dennis Wu, a public school parent whose son had just graduated Lowell and enrolled in UC San Diego, said he believes that instead of pouring more resources into debating whether or not the merit-based system should remain, the real focus should be on improving other high schools so that they can be as desirable as Lowell.
