[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you want to learn how to game the system.  You can try, but if caught, your kids will be thrown out.[/quote]

Will they? I think the only bitching about this is ON THIS BOARD.  Seriously, how many kids does DCPS or charters actually throw out each year? Less than 5 I would assume.  And we know there are probably hundreds of kids "gaming" the system. [/quote]

+1.  Except in the most egregious cases, like the married DC officers who live in MD for years and sent their kids to DC schools, I wonder if any kids get "thrown out."  The only school that has some kind of policy posted is Oyster-Adams which is occasionally posted on this board.  And even in that case, the policy isn't definitive.

All students who enter Oyster-Adams for the first time under the “in-boundary” process in 2010-2011, [b]will risk[/b] losing their space if they move out of boundary after the beginning of the school year or in the future years. Students who move mid year will be allowed to finish the school year at Oyster-Adams but [b]may then be asked[/b] to re-apply via the lottery for subsequent years. This is necessary to ensure manageable class sizes and to counter a documented pattern of families moving to the boundary for one year only to gain access to the school’s in-boundary status.[/quote]
