[quote=Anonymous][quote]We live in Petworth, spent one year at Powell and like it just fine, and then got zoned out in the re-drawn boundaries. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that the only way we can stay at the school is to maintain our current address. I do think it would be great if some families tried out other schools in the area like Bruce Monroe and Truesdale, and also felt it was worth a longer term investment. But if your family has become a part of school family, thrown your support behind its rising status, [b]given time and money[/b], known its students, faculty and parents on a first-name basis, you should be allowed to enroll for as long as you're paying DC taxes.[/quote]

First off, I sympathize.  I'd be PISSED if my kids were zoned out of a school that we had invested in.  That said, you seem to be arguing that your presence at the school is more valuable because you have money/time to give.  Of course, we know that housing instability is much more of a problem for exactly those kids whose parents DON'T have time or money, and they are the ones most likely to be hurt by the current policy, not you guys.
