[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The allocation of those 70 spots will be done through the My School DC DCI Member Lottery. That lottery has a sibling preference, so that families with a sibling already at DCI will get preference. If there are other seats available because other member schools have not used their seat allocation, students on the member waitlist will receive preference for those seats[/quote]

Am I reading this to understand that the DCI lottery will have a sibling preference within each school allocation? So MV (or other) students that already have a sibling at DCI will get a preference within the MV lottery seats? That was a big outstanding question because it means once the expansion grades start lotterying for the preference, the oldest children (without a sibling) would have much less than a 70% chance than the kids with the sibling preference.

I raised this concern with Kristin during one of the initial meetings with MV parents when the second campus was first announced and they totally dismissed this concern. [/quote]

I've been trying to get a clear answer on this for years. But I'm the PP who started the thread and I also attended a DCI open house in person recently, and that was my take-away. It's Feeder siblings, then feeder kids to the extent possible within each feeder allocation. Then, feeder kids shut out would get preference for un-used slots from other feeders. I assume that's only within Spanish but who knows. Kids from non-feeders are likely SOL.

This all depends on Stokes, LAMB, and Mundo's ability to send up a full 5th grade class, of course.[/quote]
