[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that "grey area" can't be a law-- but I do think principles should have a right to review redshirts on a case by case bases -- example -- say you just moved in from a different state that had a sept 1 cut off [b](since most do)[/b] -- [b]is DC really going to make said child skip a grade because they were born sept 2nd?[/b] OR say you have a child born on September 30th and you can already tell they aren't developmental ready for K (or to be with kids almost an entire year older then then).  What I don't agree with is parents just thinking they can do whatever they want... especially when their kids birthday is in May/June/July.... [/quote]
Once you are enrolled in a school (any school), they follow the next grade.
Many families moving from out of state will schedule a meeting with the school to discuss enrollment. 
BUT - I can imagine the situation you just painted where a child did not make the cut off for K in the state that they lived in and moved to DC and are caught - BUT in that case, the parent can meet and talk to the Principal.  It would not be entitlement - like this case.
