Few issues have roiled San Francisco politics like the fight over admissions to prestigious Lowell High. And a school board with three new members — the result of a recall — must decide what to do going forward. The options: stick with a lottery-based admissions system designed to promote diversity, or revert to the competitive system that Lowell used for years. Chronicle reporter Jill Tucker tells host Demian Bulwa how she expects the vote to go, and how the debate will continue. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
