[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if it's for military or us government travel orders if that could help (anyone know?)

on an unrelated note, can you apply to these lotteries if you are NOT physically about to be in Dc?[/quote]

You could apply but you will need to be able to prove residency to enroll, and enrollment happens within a few weeks of lottery results, or on a rolling basis as people get off waitlists. So if you did the lottery and then didn’t have a dc address by the time you got a spot, you won’t be able to enroll and will lose it anyway.

Regarding military/government travel orders, very few such assignment are only one year, and even those that are have a high likelihood of being extended. Leaving a spot at a school with a mile long waitlist empty for a kid who might be gone a year but could also be gone three doesn’t seem right.

People could easily avoid this issue by simply choosing to live somewhere with satisfactory IB schools if you think it’s likely you will be doing a stint abroad. Move to the suburbs are buy in the JR triangle. If you can plan a year abroad with kids, you obviously have some flexibility in terms of where you live. Why make a lottery-based charter your game plan here? It makes no sense.[/quote]
