[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. We got bumped down too. Sucks. I was not terribly supportive of the DME's idea of "set-asides" but now I am. [/quote]

Are your children "at risk", if not they will not benefit from the set asides.  Also, IB would still bump under the set asides as the set aside is merely a preference that follows (per the not yet adopted proposal) IB and OOB with a sibling preferences.[/quote]

No, we are not at-risk, however, our oldest has attended our OOB school for more than 4 years now--the only school she has ever known. Her younger sister was waitlisted for PK in the first round behind a couple dozen in-boundary students. I think that's fair and as it should be--I understood the preference ranking going in. But to be bumped further down by additional in-boundary families that waited until the second round to apply, I think that is truly unfair, particularly when the second round preference ranking was not clearly or broadly explained. So it's looking like set-asides is our best option for next year because while we may not be at-risk, our "OOB w/ sibling" status ranks us higher than at-risk. [/quote]
