[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The immersion schools are all by lottery? Siblings do get priority, but to join immersion, one must apply to the lottery, even if it is your neighborhood school. You are required to provide transportation if it is not your neighborhood school, but could drive clear across FCPS if you so desired.[/quote] Is this a new policy for in boundary kids to have to apply for their neighborhood immersion school? When DC went to Bailey's Spanish immersion, in boundary kids automatically got in.[/quote] In-boundary kids get first priority for Spanish Immersion at Bailey's, but because it's so overcrowded there may not be enough Spanish Immersion spots for every in-boundary kid. Remember, Spanish Immersion is only a small portion of the Bailey's population. If the parent doesn't contact the school specifically about SI, the child could be shut out. I know of at least one in-boundary Bailey's family that it happened to.[/quote]
