You mean OOB feeder rights.  Just because an OOB student attends an in boundary elementary school should not confer the right to go on to Deal and to Wilson.[/quote]

There are few OOB kids in K. Current kindergarten enrollment at the Deal feeders is 535. Times three years is 1605 kids when these kids hit Deal. Stopping OOB feeder rights is not going to help.[/quote]

By 5th grade there are a bunch of kids who are enrolled who no longer live IB.   In my kids cohort of 5th graders, it is about 10% of the students.   Now - some of these families moved to an area that still feeds Deal - but most did not.    [b] This group officially does not have "rights" to the feeder pattern - but no one checks[/b].     Overcrowding is a queuing problem - it is like a traffic congestion where 1 additional car breaks the system.   Imagine that Deal had 5% less kids in the cafeteria or in the hallway or on the stairs.   It is enough to make a difference with movement and flow.

T[b]his is a policy that is currently in place that is not enforced.   How do we get it done?[/b] [/quote]

This has only been the policy for ONE year. If you want the policy enforced, which DCPS has the data to do, write your council member, call into WAMU when Ferrebee is on, use social media, start a petition -- and focus public attention on the lack of adherence to DCPS' own policy.

No, it was always the rule, but there was an error in the guide allowing families to stay after they moved OOB that was corrected.  That error was only in place for one year and it was obviously idiotic.[/quote]
