[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the comments above, can someone please clarify if there is an agreement among local schools (that are part of the AISGW) not to accept a child off a waitlist if the family has put a deposit down at another school?  Let's assume this is before the contract binding date (June 1st).  Thank you![/quote]

No, there is no such agreement with respect to acceptances off a waiting list, either before or after the binding date.

However, schools do agree with each other not to allow families to attend their schools if the family is in breach of its contractual obligations to another school.  So, with respect to the binding date--suppose you have signed a contract with one school (School A), the binding date passes, and then your child is accepted off the WL at another school (School B), and you decide to send your child to School B.  If School A demands payment of full tuition as they are entitled to do under the contract once the binding date has passed, and you refuse to pay it, School A can inform School B and School B is then obligated not to allow your child to attend until your financial obligation to School A has been satisfied.[/quote]
