[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]get rid of feeder rights for preschoolers.  that would open up some spaces more fairly. PK is not required so why should siblings get those spaces and then coast through elem if its not their IB.  Give by right to IB kids for PK and that might do more to keep kids in their neighborhood schools.[/quote]

Outside of a handful of dual language schools, no OOB PK students are getting into a neighborhood school ahead of IB students. [/quote]

And thats unfair too.  Bruce monroe reserves 29 seats for spanish dominant and only 19 seats for english dominant. And yes, plenty of OOB kids are getting in over IB english dominant kids.  I have no idea why its not 50/50 split like most schools.  [/quote]

I think you know why, but you don't agree with the policy. But in case you don't, the DCPS enrollment handbook explains on page 13. https://dcps.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dcps/publication/attachments/SY17-18%20Enrollment%20and%20Lottery%20Handbook5317.pdf

"Dual language schools/programs place additional emphasis on sibling preference because of the value of in-home exposure to language acquisition. As such, a sibling preference is weighted more heavily than an in-boundary preference at these schools/programs (relevant for PK3/PK4 only)."[/quote]
