[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what is the final read of this: once enrolled in a school, does the student have the right to stay even if they move out of bounds?[/quote]

Yes[/quote]

It's very poorly written and doesn't adequately address that question. It should say, "the student NO LONGER has the right to attend their current school as of XYZ date (w/in 3 days of moving, end of the year, terminal grade, etc.)." But instead it says nothing and later says they can lottery for OOB schools. Except that MSDC does not allow you to lottery for a school you're currently enrolled in, so that leaves families with no legal way to try to continue at their current school. I have a REALLY hard time imagining a principal kicking a student out mid-year OR wanting new students to enroll mid-year.

It seems like someone in DCPS central office made the change without thinking through the logistics of how it would actually work in practice. Which is just so very DC. I'm guessing principals will use their discretion to implement in a reasonable way, and we'll see another change in the policy for next year.[/quote]
