[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw online that ITS only allows sibling preference if you apply in the initial lottery.  That makes sense and I assume they are allowed to do that.  However I have a question.  I have DC1 attending ITS now.  DC2 will enter PK3 in the fall.  If I don't place ITS #1 on DC2's lottery application and DC2 matches with a school we prefer over ITS, does that mean I can't re-add DC2 to the ITS waitlist?  I am concerned that DC2 might get into a higher choice and DC1 might still not get in to that school, and I want my kids at rhe same school.[/quote]

Call MSDC, but pretty sure a charter school can decide whether to offer sibling preferences at all, and if they do offer it, they can set limits or parameters.

In your scenario above, you could add DC2 back to the ITS WL but they would not have sibling preference. They would be behind everyone else on the initial WL.

Sounds like they want to limit sibling preference to families that are committed to their school, and not necessarily to people who continue to try their luck or trade "up."
