[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So IB kids who start in PK have more right than IB kids who start in K? Why would that be?[/quote]

They are both in the same bucket-- the IB bucket. When you start is irrelevant.[/quote]

I don't think they are in the same bucket since the PK3/4 kids have to be accepted via lottery (regardless of residence) whereas the K has a right to attend while in-boundary.

Also, I have been combing through the regs (specifically the DCPS Enrollment and Lottery Handbook and 5E-2016 Rule Version ID: 4245901 regulation) and there is an odd nature to the way it is written, as some posters have noticed.  The language leaves a lot to interpretation, stating nothing about how admissions happened (IB/OOB, grade-level, etc.):

- A student who has been admitted to a school outside the attendance zone for his or her place of residence which has been designated as a feeder school by the Chancellor shall be entitled to attend the next-level school in the designated feeder pattern upon the student's completion of the program at the feeder school. -

So...we are in a tough spot since our PK3 got into a Charter (yay for a spot, anywhere!) and our K is zoned for Powell next year.  Our lease runs out on Aug 31 and school starts Aug 20.  We want to move closer to the charter but don't want to go to the IB school near the charter!  To add to the mix, our schools are dual-language so have definite feeder implications beyond the standard considerations.

I wish us all the best of luck as we navigate these muddy waters.[/quote]
