[quote=Anonymous]If there is going to be a policy change, I do not think giving whatever june/july/aug/sept bdays a choice of grades is likely to be the best solution, just my opinion. What I do think could be considered reasonable and realistic is moving the age cutoff from Sept 30 to Sep 1 or Sep 15. Interestingly, it seems Virginia is also Sep 30 like we are, its just Montgomery County and PG Counties that are Sep 1, surrounding us. I suspect that poverty reasons might sway away from a change happening. DC has prioritized universal PK starting at 3, and moving the date earlier will exclude some number of kids who for that year may not have parents that can afford alternate care. And given that for many of our neighbors experience poverty school is where kids access food, sometimes medical care, etc, excluding them may not be a preferred policy choice. [/quote]
