[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they remove the OOB right to feed to Deal and Wilson - how would they treat kids who are say in 4th or 5th grade in 2015, as an OOB student at a WOTP feeder school?  Could they just yank Deal that easily? Or is it more likely that those kids would get grandfathered in? I know that it is hard to guess - but am curious what peoples thoughts are on this issue?[/quote]

If you want to preserve that right for your child, that is why you need to be vocal during this process. Cutting those students out of the feeder pattern completely implodes the DCPS claim that it provides a continuous pathway. The numbers of OOB children attending the schools that feed to Deal has been going down each and every year, which means fewer and fewer OOB kids are attending Deal (at 30% now). It seems unreasonable and completely unfair to tell OOB families at Deal feeder schools that they are out in the cold come 6th grade...particularly when those children who attended WotP elementaries as OOB students provided those schools with what it needed...bodies in seats to maximize their budgets.
