[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I think it's a bit ridiculous if a family moves into the neighborhood over the summer with an older, by-right-attendance child and then their youngest gets to skip the entire queue for pre-K. That family didn't wait their turn. And, frankly, they can shlep the youngest pre-K child to another school for a year.

I'm fine with the sibling preference if the pre-K child was in the waitlist from the very beginning. But it's ridiculous that they get to jump line at the end of the summer. That seems to be an equitable way to deal with the pre-K sibling preference issue.[/quote]

I fully support sibling preference in order to keep families together for the benefit of both the school and family quality of life.  But your suggestion has merit from a fairness standpoint.  I recognize the frustration that sibling preference brings for families who are shut out of school because of it and your approach seems to fairly address some of that frustration.  [/quote]
