[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any guidance on what can actually happen after boundaries are re-drawn? We bought our house on the Hill partly because we really like the local elementary but we are on the edge of the boundary. The other options we could be redrawn to are not something we would be interested in past ECE. We are awaiting PK3 results right now but were not sure we would enroll this year as we get a sibling preference at a hard to get into daycare for our second. Since we are guaranteed our great local for K, we were considering not enrolling (if we even get in) and waiting to try again for PK4 or even wait until K. Now I am a bit panicked because if we don't enroll for PK3 we could get rezoned. Or could it be even worse and even if we start in PK3 could we get kicked out? Would love to know if there is anything practical or if we are just going to have to wait and find out. [/quote]

If it's similar to last boundary review, there was quite a bit of phase-in for students already attending a school. I think you'd likely be okay even if you were about to start K. Last time, I don't think they kicked anyone out of a school they were already attending.

The final report of recommendations from the DC Advisory Committee on Student Assignment will be submitted to the Mayor in winter 2023-24. Changes from adopted recommendations may begin to take effect no sooner than SY2025-26, starting in August of 2025. New policies will be clear in advance of the common lottery process that begins in December 2024. However, to support a smooth transition, “phase-in” provisions may buffer the immediate impact on many current students and their families.[/quote]
