[quote=Anonymous]Sibling preference is a model designed for charter or magnet schools, where school assignments are not determined by geographic boundaries at all. It would be impossible to retain families without that benefit. When applied to public schools that serve, whether officially or practically, exclusively in boundary students that all have a right to attend at K, they don't make sense. Instead, they serve as a means to deciding who gets free, formal preK and who does not. It's not about "keeping families together" at that point since the school is presumably in your neighborhood to begin with and your younger child will have a spot there within a couple years. Maybe it makes sense for twins, but not for younger siblings.[/quote]
