[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are already a number of threads on this topic. Some start in the political discussion forum, some in off-topic, and some here, because schools. It's the same conversation over and over again.

McKinney-Vento says that students have a right to attend the school assigned to their last address or the school assigned to their current address, whether that's a shelter, a temporary apartment, or some other address.

[b]If a shelter is built within the boundary for Janney, the school-age children living in the shelter have a right to attend Janney. I[/b]f their parents would prefer that they continue to attend the school they used to live in bounds for, they have a right to attend that school and DC must provide transportation to that school.

Bowser didn't have to think through this. Reagan signed it into law in 1987.

Anyway, maybe read some of the other threads before you get in a tizzy.[/quote]

Which is a pure hypothetical, because [b]there's no way that a shelter will be built within the Janney district.[/b]  Mary Cheh and the same people who protected Janney's interests on the school boundary advisory committee will see to that.  Absolutely.[/quote]

I believe the proposed shelter site on Idaho would be in Eaton's zone, not Janney's:

Yes, it is Eaton and Hardy.  Eaton is only 45% IB, so they have capacity (at the expense of future OOB slots).[/quote]
