[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our charter has been messaging that the reenrollment period is the same (4/1-5/1) as registration for new kids. And that the 5/1 deadline is real. Not sure of this is happening everywhere. If parents were forced to enroll by 5/1 it could address some, not all, of the issues above. [/quote]

That would certainly address an older child accepted elsewhere in the lottery with a sibling accepted at older child's school. It wouldn't address a situation where older child actually completes enrollment, resulting in younger child having the status of "sibling enrolled" and then unenrolls upon receiving a seat at another school post-enrollment deadline.

I really don't think this is going to happen regularly enough to make a policy about it. I know that it might be a real issue at some schools (Brent comes to mind), but I feel like the status a certain applicant is given in the lottery is based on their status at that time and at enrollment. I would be inclined to treat it the same as an IB family being admitted with that preference and then moving outside the boundary at some point after providing residency. The rule about that now is that the child can finish the school year, but then must reapply as an out of bounds student the following year. It would make sense to me to treat the "sibling enrolled" situation the same way.[/quote]
