This is from the Oyster website:

"*NOTE* Beginning in 2010-2011: All students who enter Oyster-Adams for the first time under the 'in-boundary' process in 2010-2011, will risk losing their space if they move out of boundary after the beginning of the school year or in the future years. Students who move mid year will be allowed to finish the school year at Oyster-Adams but may then be asked to re-apply via the lottery for subsequent years. This is necessary to ensure manageable class sizes and to counter a documented pattern of families moving to the boundary for one year only to gain access to the school’s in-boundary status."[/quote]

This is a good policy. DCPS should implement it everywhere. [/quote]

Why? One of the core principles of the OOB system is that changing schools is disruptive for kids. Why is it any less disruptive for kids who got into their school by virtue of living in-boundary? Why do kids who got their position through a lottery -- a lottery! -- get some special privilege?[/quote]
