OP here. Thank you for the responses!

OP here. Educational and emotional neglect is what the DC school did to my child which forced us to move out of the district. Why would I inform a school like that where my child is going to next?

Do you know what information is sent from DCPS to the receiving school?

OP here. My child is going to kindergarten in new school in Virginia. Why should they need anything from the prior school?

I don’t want to lie but just want to maintain privacy of my child’s education. Why is that so difficult?

Hello,

We have moved out of DC into neighboring Virginia and completed the withdrawal form for my child who was in DC elementary school this past year. In the withdrawal form we did NOT mention the name of the new school my child was going to for privacy purposes.

The DC elementary school administrator is forcing us that we need to provide the name of the new school in Virginia otherwise, they cannot complete the withdrawal and mentioned that it would trigger a very long complicated process.

Can someone please advise us how to navigate this as we do not want to give the name of the new school where my child is attending now?

Thanks so much!
