[quote=Anonymous]I'm not proposing vigilante justice or trying to figure out how to cheat the system, but I'd like to know how this may work to see how our local school waitlist may move. As background, with the My School DC lottery, the younger sibling of a kid entering K or above can get sibling enrolled preference for the lottery into their inbounds preschool whether or not the older child already attends the school.

Here are some scenarios:

- Big Sis already attends Desirable DCPS but lotteries into Immersion Charter. Little Bro gets a PS3 spot at Desirable DCPS due to sibling preference but is waitlisted at Immersion Charter. Parents of Big Sis and Little Bro want to just register Little Bro at Desirable DCPS. Can they do this without re-enrolling Big Sis?

- What will happen to Little Bro if parents re-enroll Big Sis at Desirable DCPS and enroll Little Bro at the same time then enroll her at Immersion Charter just before the deadline (thereby unenrolling her from Desirable DCPS.) Does Little Bro get to stay at Desirable DCPS?

- Let's say parents enroll both Big Sis and Little Bro at Desirable DCPS. Big Sis then gets off the waitlist at Expensive Private School during the summer. Does Little Bro get to stay at Desirable DCPS?

- Let's say Big Sis and Little Bro just moved into the Desirable DCPS school zone and Little Bro entered the preschool lottery with sibling enrolled preference but ends up on the waitlist near the top due to sibling preference. Big Sis gets into 3rd grade at Immersion Charter and enrolls there. Does Little Bro go farther down the waitlist because Big Sis never enrolls or does he stay near the top?

Any ideas? I'm sure some of this will be school judgement calls, but I'm wondering if there are set policies.
