[quote=Anonymous]Exactly. The waitlist is legally required to be managed fairly, respecting the IB and sibling preferences. Nowhere does DCPS prioritize children of staff. From what I can gather, some schools play a little loose with the waitlist to appease valuable staff members but it's very hush-hush because it's technically illegal. I'm a DCPS employee with an active PK3 lottery application. I've been waitlisted (as expected) at all 10 of my DCPS schools (all of which are geographically close to the school in which I teach, for logistical reasons). I have written letters to the Chancellor and teacher retention board to change this policy and allow some kind of staff preference like is done at the charter schools but to no avail. If I end up sending my daughter to the charter school to which we've been matched, I'll have to miss work to care for my child on days when the DCPS calendar doesn't line up with the charter.[/quote]
