[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - whether you've owned a condo for 3.5 years in a certain area doesn't make you a "legitimate Eaton family." It makes you a resident of the Eaton zone. But until you apply, are accepted, and your kid starts, you are not an Eaton family. I'm not trying to be mean, just telling how the rules work. For example, at the Murch open house, the principal made it clear that families who have attended Murch for "a couple of years" and are active but move outside the boundary, can appeal to him and they will stay.

But why would any principal allow someone to start their school if they played the lottery, won IB, and then moved OOB shortly thereafter? It's just trying to game the system. You might not think so b/c it is your life, but that is what it is.[/quote]

OP, I agree with PPs analysis quoted above, even though I know your intention is not to game the system. I would put Eaton IB last and find other schools to put ahead of it, including Hearst OOB and charters. It's a tough situation to be in, but given that you plan to move soon, possibly even before the start of the school year, you could very well lose the spot (and with good reason). It might be worth calling the myschooldc hotline to see if there is a way that you can apply to Eaton OOB and try getting in that way. [/quote]
