[quote=Anonymous]From the FAQ, it says proximity is determined with a "square" around the school with sides that are 3000 ft for ES (with the school in the middle), so the distance from the school would be 1500-2100 ft or so, depending on whether you are due N/S/E/W or on the diagonal. See the footnote on this page. http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Files/downloads/Learn-About-Schools/OOB%20-%20Schools%20That%20Have%20Seats/English%20PSPK%202012-2013%20FAQ.pdf *DC Municipal Regulations B 2106.3 defines “reasonable walking distance” to be a theoretical square oriented north-south with the school in the center and the sides measuring 3000 feet for elementary schools and educat ion campuses and 5000 feet for middle Schools. Seems unduly complicated, but apparently that's what the reg says. And who knows how the DCPS lottery system accurately determines this.[/quote]
