I call troll.

Its ben asked too many times on too many threads and with 10 % of DC gen pop being Atty's , I sincerely doubt OP needs to post on this forum to get an answer.e

You are that crazy poster who lives on DCUM and cannot draw breath without it. Just because you've seen the same question x number of times, does not make someone who has come here to ask the same question a troll.

In fact the definition of a "troll" is someone who literally trolls and trawls the boards endlessly, and that sounds like you.

That is what ours is as well. There are some exclusions, mostly on the medical withdrawal clause.

Well no one will be able to show up for a DC public school lottery seat two weeks into the school year. The seat will be given to the next person on the waiting list. At 2 weeks the child would have exceeded the maximum of 10 days of unexcused absences.

If OP is real she should just decide already.

I would look at your contract. Also, if it's a school that has a long wait list and they're able to fill your spot in time, they may have empathy and not charge you. They legally may be able to charge you, but that doesn't mean that they will charge you. Does that make sense? Wait and see what happens and if you get a spot, call the school and explain your situation.

Actually, this is exactly what happened to us last year: 2 weeks into the DCPS school year but before our NW independent school started. We'd gotten tuition insurance, and it would have covered it as long as we attended 2 weeks, but since it would have been for a financial reason, the coverage, as I recall, was only 40% of the remainder. The DCPS was willing to at least consider us enrolling 2 weeks later than planned, so that the missed days won't count as absences, but in the end, we ended up staying.
