(THE BLAZE) – A school in San Francisco will return to merit-based admissions after angry parents recalled left-wing school board members.
One of the contentious issues that led to the recall was the implementation of an admissions lottery at Lowell High School in order to rectify historical inequities and increase diversity in the school’s student body.
On Wednesday, the San Francisco Unified School District’s Board of Education voted 4 to 3 to end the lottery system and return to a merit-based admissions policy for the fall of 2023.
