[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is guaranteed a spot for K and up at their in-boundary school. It's not a special rule for military. It's how the city fulfills its obligation to educate all kids who live here.[/quote]

Applying for the lottery without living there is a special rule for the military.  We are fortunate because we can participate and if we happen to get a spot, we can move to the area and become IB for my older 2, guaranteeing them a spot.[/quote]

I don't get what's special about this. Anyone can lottery and then move IB for a school. Even if they don't get a spot in the lottery, anyone can move here at any time. Are you sure you fully understand this special rule? Do you mean it's an extension of the enrollment deadline?[/quote]

As far as I understand, if you do not live in DC during the lottery, you cannot participate in the lottery.  If that were the case, everyone from VA, MD, and anywhere could apply and move if they got a spot.  The exception to this is active duty military families with official orders to the area can participate in the lottery without living IN DC.  We currently live in Japan, and will until after the lottery closes.  Normally we would not be eligible, except that we are active duty with orders to the area. But this obviously doesn't apply to you, and at this point and probably 3 posts ago, continuing this isn't helpful to either one of us.  If you're interested in learning more, check out the DC military resources, which defines this better and more [/quote]
