[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We stop taking kids after count day. I don't know what our official policy is, but that's what has been stated during our previous years' leadership meetings. When kids leave midyear, we don't replace them. [/quote] Which school is this?[/quote] Just about every school. There's a reason DCPS doesn't release info on waitlist offers after October. I bet if you FOIA'd them there would be very few, and most would be kids with a sibling already enrolled.[/quote] I have seen it happen when a cohort is seriously underweight (like not enough kids for two full classrooms but too many for one classroom). Or if a child is placed in a self-contained classroom through that process, it seems like a sibling should be accomodated if at all possible. Back when our school was trying to get over the 300-kid funding bump, our principal was rolling out the welcome mat all year long.[/quote]
