[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it matter if we are IB now but move out come 9th grade? For example, can we move to Capitol Hill after DD graduates from Oyster?[/quote]

I don't think that works, think about it. Then anyone could live in a Wilson feeder and move out in 9th grade and do the exact same thing. How would that work?[/quote]

That's exactly how it works now in most of the city -- it's up to the current school principal to decide if a student whose family moves OOB can stay at the now OOB school and for how long. There are OOB students in 2nd or 3rd in Janney who got 'in' because they lived IB for a year or so and moved and the principal allowed them to stay which gives them the right to stay in teh Janney feeder pattern through Wilson.

Only notably, at Oyster Elementary, has the principal put the entire school community on notice that if you move OOB during the school year, the student can finish that year but not return the following fall unless they receive an OOB slot through the lottery..

The DME boundary proposal recommended that DCPS end or phase out principal discretion. But DCPS hasn't done that. So it's up to the principal to decide if a student can continue. If a student is chronically tardy or has other problems the can, after a series of warnings, send them to the students IB school. Supposedly that began happening to some students this fall at Wilson.
