[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For this year, it is up to the principal's discretion. Some schools will let you do this, some won't. But the boundary changes had a provision that has not yet been implemented (which could be as early as next year) that once you move out of bounds, you can only stay if you secure a spot through the OOB lottery.

Yikes, that would suck. Would that only apply to new families or would they implement it for families already enrolled in a school?[/quote]

All families.  If they implement it, you could enter the lottery for 2016-7 and only move if you get an OOB spot in your school.  If you don't, just keep living in your house (or change schools).

I think it's a very reasonable policy.  You get to finish out the school year but after that you go to your new IB school or one you get into through the lottery.  This is designed to avoid the situation where someone rents a place IB for an in-demand school for a few months when their kid is 3 or 4 and then has a right to go there and to all feeder schools for the next 14 years (plus preference for younger sibs).  If they only applied it to new families there would still be decades of overcrowding at WOTP and a few other schools.[/quote]
