The deputy mayor for education released the new school boundaries Thursday, ending a nearly yearlong process of city proposals on the overhaul. The new rules will give each student one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school that she or he can attend as a matter of right. For the majority of students, this will mean no change in their school assignments. Still, get ready for a charged public reaction, D.C.
