[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"First, there has been an informal tradition at Wilson in recent years to admit siblings of current out-of-boundary students. Given the space constraints, this practice will not be continued. Although DCPS values keeping siblings together when possible, it is not fair to continue this practice in light of the school’s facility constraints. "

Who was the letter addressed to and when?  Also according to the DCPS web site this morning it clearly states that if you live in the boundary of the school this year (but won't be according to new boundaries next year) and have a sibling currently enrolled that the other sibling may still be granted a spot for 2015-16.  Is that what they are referring to as "informal practice"?  [/quote]

This letter was sent out yesterday. It went to parents who wrote the chancellor about the Wilson budget cuts. I think it was also sent to the Wilson PTA and LSAT. [/quote]

This is great to read. I had suspected that this informal practice existed. Further evidence that the over crowding at Wilson is actually pretty easy to address. Actually enforcing the existing rules, per the letter above, plus shrinking the boundary as was recently done, will surely do the trick.
