Actually, last year the district eliminated "deseg" status for all but 2 or 3 schools.  If you do not live in the Powel catchment area, you can still apply to attend, just as you can for many schools.  Greenfield and Meredith, for example, are popular with families who live outside their catchment areas.  I don't think this applies to PAS, and some schools, like Masterman or GAMP, have special admission requirements.  If you are interested in transferring to a school outside your catchment, contact the District.  Transfer forms are due at the end of October.

[Deseg program]  It would help to reintegrate the school which has about 15% ESL students, and is currently not overcrowded... in fact has only one grade I think it is third... and is getting good input from Penn both after school program and a Fels Institute, Fox leadership program with Penn students coming to make recess vibrant and more varied.....  and it's doing well.  If anyone has information, I'm interested.  Of course I don't speak for the administration there. I'm only guessing, but I don't think any schools have been added to that program in years, perhaps because the original court-ordered goal of desegregating the Philadelphia school system may have been reached about as well, or as poorly, as the deseg program could accomplish.  -Melani Lamond Melani Lamond, Associate Broker Urban & Bye, Realtor 3529 Lancaster Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19104 cell phone 215-356-7266 - office phone 215-222-4800 #113 personal fax 215-386-1345 This e-mail is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise exempt from disclosure.  If the reader of this e-mail is not the intended recipient or the employee or agent responsible for delivering the message to the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution, or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited.  If you have received this communication in error, please immediately notify us by replying to the original message at the listed e-mail address.  Thank You.   ************** New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
