[quote=Anonymous]"The rationale for not using the first come, first served approach was to avoid potential "3 am wait lines" to register children. The fairness of keeping an open window for registration was a key discussion when the policy was first created... one of the conclusions was that an open registration process during a window of time would avoid some families not able to get to the early lines of registration for any number of reasons (e.g., what if a child were sick that day?)."

I call BS. We enrolled last year at a high-demand, at-capacity school in ACPS, and there was none of this. Not even close. And we registered for K a month after registration opened. A friend in the Mason district enrolled her kid for K in June last year--no issues. NO one we know at ANY of the other schools that are at-capacity in ACPS had any experience remotely like "3 am wait lines." Unless there are a MASSIVE number of kids enrolling this year compared with last year, it's hard to imagine this is the real reason. [/quote]
