This is really short sighted. We Have two children at Leckie and it isn’t the kids, it’s everything else that makes us want to move them next year. I won’t go into detail but it’s not good at all. And just like any other family, we have the right to try the lottery for an OOB spot. [/quote]

I don't understand why military families get some special preferences, they are barely DC residents for even a few years and yet we are bending over backwards to help families who will move on a in a couple of years and have no vested interest in the District.   I do have a friend with kids at Leckie and the miliary families are the only diversity at the school. Her kids PK class had several white middle class kids and a few asian american kids.  but by K they all moved on.    when our city needs more options for all kids, this is absurd to cater to this one group.

What special preferences do they get? [/quote]

garuenteed entry into a charter school?  around a specific population.[/quote]

Where does it say they have guaranteed entry? And you said "some" which is more than one. So what other special preferences do they get?[/quote]
