[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what exactly do you mean by best way? It sounds like you want some answer besides putting these schools on your lottery list every year.[/quote]

OP here.  I just wanted to know what the best options were if you didn't want to move, but yet wanted to get into a Deal feeder school.   I guess another option would be to rent out our current house for a year, and move IB to an apartment?[/quote]

You have to prove residency every year, dear.  Otherwise everyone would do what you suggested. [/quote]

So if you register one year as an inbound student, you have to re-register every year after that?[/quote]

Yes, of course.[/quote]

Except that in reality no.  In practice, schools don't kick out students because they moved elsewhere in DC.[/quote]

In the past principals had the discretion to allow students to stay until they finished in the school even though they moved . However this is supposed to go away - part of the boundary reforms.

I doubt anyone will actually be kicked out for mid-year move, but hope that the rules will be followed and students whose families move from IB to OOB wouldn't be allowed to return the next year, unless they get in through the OOB boundary process.

OOB boundary suspended that recommendation for next year.  Only way to enforce it would be for a principal to specially have registration staff cross check addresses  Enrollment forms are automatically generated.  Your information is misleading and wrong.[/quote]

DCPS doesn't have OOB admission records going back before the unified lottery started. The OOB process was always seat of the pants, no one ever dreamed that results would matter beyond the current year, let along five or ten years into the future. They won't even have the ability to implement it until enough time has passed that most kids got where they are under the unified lottery, which will be another 3-5 years. Even then it's going to be a huge administrative burden that principals and administrators will be happy to shirk.

My prediction is we see wholesale overhaul of OOB before the recommendation is implemented.[/quote]
