[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same thing happened to us. We live in the neighborhood but were shut out for PreK4 at our DCPS.

You know what?  We didn't complain and didn't try to bust a couple families we suspect got in with dodgy residency addresses. We accepted that IB PreK isn't a right in the District. We headed to a wonderful charter and had a good experience there before landing at our IB for K.  We don't hold grudges and aren't complaining about the new rule letting everybody stay at their "current school" from K, no matter where they really live in DC.[/quote]

(A) There is no new regulation in DC, just different wording in the Handbook. Will it last?

(B)  Renting but not living in an apartment and the "new rule" are two different issues.  Why are you mixing them together?[/quote]

Will it last?  I predict, YES, at least through a 2nd term for Bowser.  Much easier for a school system/mayor to grant a privilege than to take it away. Changing the policy, coupled w/enforcement action to kick OOB families out of schools they started at as IB residents, would open a legal can of worms for DCPS.

Not the PP who misguidedly conflated the issues but like the spirit of the sentiment expressed. [/quote]
