Is this totally legal under the current system?[/quote]

Yes.  And next year when you are in the school, enrollment papers will be automatically generated for you following the lottery.  Fill them out, with your new DC address, submit them.  And then send your child to school when it starts in August 2016.

There is no current DC law that states you are required to lottery into your existing school if you move out of boundary after enrollment.  The boundary recommendations under Gray addressed this which was subsequently suspended for 2015-16 by the current mayor.

There is no systemwide policy or law in place in DC that requires you to lottery after moving OOB (within DC).  If it exists, someone please link to it.[/quote]

I believe the current policy is "Principal's discretion." I actually support it. For instance, what if you had two kids in an IB school when she and her husband got divorced. When they sold the house neither one could afford to live IB anymore. We're talking about two elementary kids whose parents just divorced. Without discretion those kids are going to have to change schools as well. That's a bad outcome; education should be a positive and a constant in a storm.[/quote]
