[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think this applies only if you were admitted OOB to begin with, and move, still OOB.  If you are IB and move OOB, you lose your spot and you lose your feeder rights. [/quote]

That's nuts.  Why should OOB students be perpetually protected and grandfathered in, no matter where they live, while neighborhood kids would lose their rights to attend their community school if they move OOB?  It should be consistent across the board.[/quote]

Because it's not their community school anymore if they move OOB. Classroom projections are based on surveys of the neighborhood. If you could spend one year, or even just a few months, at an IB address and then move with impunity, it renders boundaries almost meaningless. Everyone would rent IB at the best school and move to a cheaper location as soon as they're enrolled. [/quote]

Boundaries are already meaningless -- 75% of kids in DC don't go to an in-boundary school.

The classroom projection argument is an even bigger argument against perpetual protection for OOB kids. How does the system have any ability to plan if a kid who wins the pre-k lottery this year is guaranteed a seat at specific schools until 2028? [/quote]
