[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ its a unique situation with them expanding seats upward, but my understanding is that the terminal year would still be K.  So, under the pps scenario above, if you have a 3rd grader at Watkins, you receive no preference.  (And, having a 5th grader at a charter with a 3-year-old sibling shopping the lottery would not a preference situation either, if that's what we're getting at...)[/quote]

This could very well be true, but it makes little sense to me. If an SWS at Peabody student rose to 1st elsewhere prior to the option of moving to SWS at Logan for 1st they would currently be in 2nd grade (ie one year removed from terminating grade at the time).  The prior year (2 years from terminating grade would be currently in 3rd grade.   Last year's K didn't terminate -- it expanded to SWS Logan 1st grade.  It should include siblings of current 2nd and 3rd graders from Watkins who rose from SWS at Peabody.  It wouldn't make sense to extend this sibling priority to Watkins 1st graders who rose from SWS Peabody K, as they had the opportunity to remain at SWS Logan for 1st.

I'm not sure about the charter analogy.  I know of cases where much younger sibs got priority for EC at charters where the elder child had a seat, regardless of grade.[/quote]
