[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have to verify residency in boundary every year? In other words, if a family moves to a new neighborhood, can the child continue on at the school?[/quote]

You have to verify residency in every DCPS every year.[/quote]

Residency in DC, sure...but residency in a specific neighborhood? If my kid starts at Janney in K but then we buy a house in Petworth, he can't stay at Janney for 1st grade? But if he lotteries in for k he is good until he graduates from Wilson?[/quote]

I think each Principal has discretion in this regard. Some allow families to stay once you are a member of the school community in order to maintain continuity of the child's education. Others may check inbounds residency.  [/quote]

PP here -- correction, if you get an oob spot through the lottery, then the kid is good throughout that school and its feeder. If you are inbounds, then I think the previous statement about Principal's discretion holds.  [/quote]
