[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking to see the Feeder-DCI contract is a good idea for any of the DCI feeder schools.  Each school has an allocation for admission preference, if the number of kids coming from the feeder exceeds the preference, there will be a lottery among the kids from that feeder.  Currently, the terminal classes at all of the feeders are small enough that there will not be a lottery.  But, once Mundo and Stokes expand that could change.

The policies on back-filling grades will also be relevant.  If the school does not back fill (i.e. Lamb) attrition is likely to reduce the need for a lottery. If the school does back-fill seats then attrition might not help.

Other seat filling issues are s tied up with the DCI contract as well.  For example, if older kids are admitted to DCI to fill LAMB seats, LAMB will not give sibling preference to younger kids for admission to LAMB (this works both ways, getting your PK4 admitted to lamb does not create preference for your 9th grader to DCI).  But, Mundo Verde has the opposite rule.   if a 10 grader is admitted to DCI to an Mundo seat the younger sib would get a preference at Mundo.   And, having a younger kid admitted to Mundo gives you DCI preference for the older child.[/quote]

Is this a disincentive to backfill?[/quote]
