[quote=Anonymous]I am a Ward 3 parent with multiple kids in multiple schools. I have 4 of them spanning ES and MS. Without predictability I could end up with 4 kids in 4 different schools? I put a lot of money and energy int the two schools where we have kids. I am on the PTA, I volunteer every week, actively involved in both auctions and give handsomely to both schools. If my kids can't go to the same school there would be two factors which would lead us out of DCPS:

1. Logistics of getting 4 kids to 4 different schools
2. Inability to devote the same amount of time, resources and money to 4 different schools that I do now.

That would impact not only my family and decision to stick with DCPS but also the schools my kids would attend. I have a little one at home still. Will she be able to go to the elementary where her older sibling attended? We will have one entering ES, one in lower ES, one entering MS and one in MS in 2015. Without neighborhood boundaries or sibling pref I just won't invest in top DC schools any longer. Sad but true. [/quote]
