[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought if a child was in the Magnet program, siblings were a shoe in.  That really stinks!  I do know that for pupil placement (which is what would be your option here) is only available if you can prove a family/childcare hardship.[/quote]

The School Board broadened the criteria for elementary school students so that if a sibling is in a special program, the other sibling can attend the elementary school provided (a) there is space and (b) the parent provide transportation. You [b]may[/b] be able to seek out an exception to ride, but that is not guaranteed.

Here is Regulation 2230:

II. SUMMARY OF CHANGES SINCE LAST PUBLICATION 
A. In section IV.A.5., the reference to Kindergarten has been deleted. 
[b]B. Section IV.A.6. has been changed to IV.A.5. and clarifies that sibling requests may 
be approved on a space available basis.[/b]

5. Siblings 
On a space available basis, a request for a student transfer by exception may be 
approved by the coordinator of Student Registration for a student whose sibling 
living in the same household is enrolled in the requested school.
