[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't comment on everything but would like to point out that even if you move in the fall, you can claim in-boundary status and advantage for Murch. If you get a spot there on that basis, you'll simply have to turn around your enrollment forms very quickly. That said, if you then do move out of those boundaries, you'd have to apply again through the OOB lottery process for K, come school year 2014-15.[/quote]

That's not accurate.  Once you gain a seat you retain it even if you move to another boundary within the District (and if you move out of DC, technically you could retain it by paying tuition).  You wouldn't need to reapply for K[/quote]

I think this is not totally accurate. my understanding is that if you move OOB it is at the discretion of the principal to keep the child in the school. we went to a school IB for pre-K and moved OOB in the summer between pre-K and K. I thought we had the right to stay, as you say, because we were already in. we were told that it was at the principal's discretion. our child was not kicked out lucklily. but at least in theory, the principal could have asked us to leave for our new IB school. if a school is very crowded and expects a big K class, the risk of being asked to leave may be higher[/quote]
