[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens to all the OOB families who didn't get in through prior IB staus or lottery?

Like kids of faculty/staff?
Or the family that moved to DC mid year, investigated OOB options and were able to secure a spot because there was room?

I guess they will all get thrown out too since the principal will no longer have discretion over the enrollment process.  Well that should be an interesting shit show to watch.[/quote]

Families attended Acme Elementary as OOB students can stay at the school as long as they want. They will re-enroll as OOB students and do not have to re-lottery as such. If a family moved to DC into an IB address mid-year and then moved OOB, they would not be able to demonstrate their IB status during registration the second year. They would either need to apply OOB to Acme for the second year, or else they would need to enroll at Unicorn Elementary, their new school.

As for the children of faculty and staff, that's not a preference category. The system, as it is designed right now, does not make exceptions for faculty and staff. If a teacher at Acme lives in IB for Unicorn and has a 2nd grader, that 2nd grader either needs to secure an Acme 2nd grade seat OOB via the lottery or enroll at Unicorn. I'm sure there are situations where the 2nd grader is admitted to Acme outside the lottery process, but I suspect we will see a lot less of that.

If there is a shit show involved, it will be because people thought they could game the system and are not able to do that any longer. You all have seen how much sympathy this board has for residency cheaters in general.[/quote]
