[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once your in your in, just as if you were initially out of bounds you dont have to apply every year. As far as the sibling you would do out of bounds with sibling preference.[/quote]

NOT TRUE. I have seen it in writing.  Your child has a right to stay no matter where you move [b]if you originally got in through an out of boundary lottery[/b].  If you got in as an inbondary resident  and then move out of boundary, all bets are off. You are officially supposed to re enter through the next out of boundary lottery if you don't want to enroll at your new inboundary school.  But principals can look the other way.  Best you understand the real regulation and then the convention of generally letting students stay then blunder forward buying real estate not knowing the risks.[/quote]

This is a quote from the official DCPS letter, signed by the chancellor, dated February 4, 2011, sent out via DCPS offices during last year's lottery process (the quote is from the footnote included on page one). It contains very clear language that you must reapply to the current (for you now OOB) school via the OOB lottery. In an email conversation with DCPS staff, it was confirmed to me that this does indeed not apply if you had originally gotten into it via the lottery.

"If you lived in-boundary for [your school] at the time of enrollment but now live out-of-boundary, you may either enroll at your new in-boundary school or apply to stay at [your school] through the DCPS Out-of-Boundary Lottery. To find out whether you are still in-boundary for [your school], go to [URL] and enter your address. For more information on hte DCPS Out-of Boundary Lottery, go to [URL] or visit [your school] and ask the school staff to assist you."
