It's available to all schools, but not all schools use it.

charter schools underserve kids with disabilities, pretty much as a rule
But, these charter schools are incredibly correct that GoCPS is a selection tool that is not useful
principals select students and this needs to stop

CPS has a lot of issues with student assignment, mostly that they don't have any principles.
But, Noble charter schools are showing up to the board meeting to complain that the CPS map tool in GoCPS doesn't preference charter schools

The resolution isn't a grand re-imagining of charter schools, resources, or student assignment at CPS.
