Not true.  Principal's discretion.[/quote]

It is true. They codified it / took away principal's discretion. They released new written guidance in Jan 2017. I'll find the link.[/quote]

This was supposedly done to protect the rights of transient students whose parents are homeless, or have unstable housing situations. But it can, and probably will be, exploited by lot of folks outside that category.

"In-Boundary K-12 Schools

DC law requires students to attend school between the ages of 5 and 18, which corresponds to kindergarten through grade 12.

1 A right-to-attend school can be identified as a student’s in-boundary school or feeder pattern school.

[b]2 If a family moves out of boundary during the school year, the student maintains the right to attend their current school through the terminal grade, and can continue to attend schools in the feeder pattern of
the original school.[/b]

3 They also have a right to attend their in-boundary school. Some school attendance boundaries and feeder patterns have shifted since SY14-15, which are outlined in the Student Assignment and School Boundary Implementation Plan.

4 Feeder patterns are subject to change each year.[/quote]
