[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Page 7, big opportunity for savvy low-income families. Move IB and rent for 1 year for K or PK, move back to your old neighborhood but stay at the school until grade 5, and then presumably until grade 12 with feeder rights. One year of renting and you can do Janney/Deal/Wilson from anywhere in the city. Can't say I am totally critical - maybe low-income families deserve the break, but this did surprise me. Maybe the definition of at-risk is more narrow than I think:

"25.
A student whose place of residence within the District of Columbia changes from one attendance zone
to a different attendance zone shall be permitted to stay in his or her current school until the end of the
school year, and students who are defined as
at-risk under the UPSFF
shall be permitted to attend the
school until the final grade level"[/quote]

I found the definition - how does this overlap with FARM?

"Q:
What is the definition of “at risk”?
A:
The at
-
risk weight applies to students who are homeless, in the District’s foster care
system, qualify for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or the
Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP), or high school students that are one
year older, or more, than the expected age for the grade in which the students are
enrolled. The at
-
risk weight is cumulative to all other weights, with the exception of the
adult and alternat
ive weights. At
-
risk dollars are unrestricted in their use.
This definition is consistent with the “Fair Student Funding and School
-
Based Budgeting
Amendment Act of 2013”. The definition of at
-
risk weight in the proposed FY15 Budget
Support Act is broader
than what was recommended in the Adequacy Study. For more
information on how the at
-
risk weight will be implemented, see below."[/quote]
