They recently voted to reinstate merit based admissions over the objections of the superintendent.
Is this supposed to be breaking news information, or are you looking for commentary? Because if you’re looking for commentary, MPSIMS is probably not the right place for this. If you’re NOT looking for commentary, I’m not sure why you posted this controversial item.

I am going to assume by this that you meant this as a breaking news story. I will add a breaking news tag to the thread. Note to all that the normal breaking news rules apply (i.e. no political jabs, please).
Those who wish to discuss the politics involved may prefer to open their own thread in P&E or GD.
