[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it’s the policy and it is stupid. But that’s CO for you.

Bonus that it advantages people with more money.

It actually advantages housing unstable children that may be moving multiple times a year, every year. If those kids can have one less disruption acts destabilizing event in their lives, then the policy is accomplishing it’s goal. It’s a right instead of principal discretion so that administrators can’t push out the higher needs kids in schools very far away from Ward 3.[/quote]

Obvious to anyone (intelligent) who’s given this two seconds of thought. A group that does not include transplants who rolled into town two weeks ago to Karen-voice us with how things are done everywhere else in the country. [/quote]

New York City (which is no stranger to students with housing instability) has a policy of letting homeless children attend the school they were in before becoming homeless if desired.  There are ways around this issue that aren’t as drastic as allowing someone who moved to a rental for a few months in K to have rights to a certain school feeder pattern for years.   This policy contributes to overcrowding of certain schools and disincentivizes those who actually invest in a particular area of DC. [/quote]
