[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is more of a thing here and the rules are 
1) if you got into a feeder school as an OOB kid, your rights are permanent - you get Lafayette Deal Wilson
2) if you are at at JKLM and move OOB after they have checked residency you have the right to remain for the rest of the year, but not afterwards, and you lose all feeder rights you had by being at whatever school you just got out of

Kind of seems like the OOB kids have a bit of an advantage - like Charter school kids, their parents can move anywhere in the city, although I guess there is no OOB sibling preference?[/quote]

Schools are sized based on projections which come from boundary population estimates. OOB is added on after that if there is room in a given class. If every apartment IB could be turned over to add IB students who get to stay even after they leave the apartment and new kids move in, it would be even harder than it currently is to control school size. Essentially rental properties could become revolving doors with no exit.

Without principal discretion, IB families who want to move need to lottery into their IB school (hopefully before moving OOB so they don't skip a year) to get to stay. Perhaps people in that category should get a lottery preference "Former IB student." That would serve the same principle of keeping cohorts together and educational consistency for students, while still allowing the school to control its population and class size.[/quote]
