[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty familiar with the pupil placement process and convenience is not considered a valid reason unless it is tied to childcare.  The social emotional reasoning requires a doctor to sign off on.  You can't really fly under the radar and do this in ES, the principal has to personally sign off, and it goes into SIS to be approved by central admin.

Then you pay $100.  And repeat every year.  If the school becomes crowded due to new housing, etc., you could be offered an alternative of another school that is open to transfers, then what are you going to do?

And last but not least, you aren't entitled to a bus when you pupil place.  You have to complete and Exception to Ride a Bus request and hope there is space.  Just because a stop is near you or within walking distance doesn't mean you are allowed on it.  And that doesn't usually occur by the first day of school, so you are driving for the first month or so.

Bottom line, thoughts about political reasons aside, boundaries exist for a reason.  No one wants a class of 40 kids because it's convenient for the parents.  At least you are renting and haven't bought yet.

One last thing, kids don't keep secrets.  They will tell their friends or it will come out during a playdate and you will get reported.  Don't do this. [/quote]
