[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not just about WOTP schools. Which seems to be the point you are deliberately not understanding. It is about keeping communities at EOTP schools. We're zoned IB for Deal and I don't want to send my kids there because it's so crowded. So I do understand that some schools are overcrowded. That's why "principal discretion" works. A blanket rule enforcing this stuff in areas that don't actually need it is not going to help anyone. [/quote]

Can you provide an example, with specific schools? Ross has a s-load of IB families at a very small school, so a handful of families who move out of IB is not going to hurt their community one whit. What are some other examples? I know a LOT of families EOTP who are attending rising EOTP schools - Powell, Seaton, West - but they have all lotteried in from OOB and can move wherever they like.[/quote]

I'm at an EOTP school, but renting. We're trying to buy EOTP but I want to stay at my current EOTP school even if we end up just outside the boundary. The fact that these are "rising" schools means that we may not be able to lottery in so easily. So if we try to stay EOTP instead of moving to Virginia we just get screwed? If I'm trying to support the school and stick with it, why can't the principal allow that?[/quote]

Is the school fully enrolled? Is there a wait list for any of the grades? [/quote]

If you know you are going to move, why not apply OOB anyway? Then you will be guaranteed a spot no matter what happens. If you don't get in, no big deal. Just enroll IB.[/quote]

And welcome to gaming the system :)[/quote]
