Personally, I don't think DCPS should corner itself into maintaining grandfathering.

But, to all those who oppose this addition and say boundary changes should solve the problem, know that boundary changes ONLY solve the problem if DCPS abandons grandfathering. Are you prepared to abandon grandfathering? That means your OOB kid at Hearst may not be able to maintain his slot and his feeder "rights." You may not want to cut your nose to spite your face.

If you don't give up grandfathering, then a PS3 kid can graduate from Wilson in 15 years even after you've removed his school from the feeder.  Or a PK4 kid from Janney 7 years from now even after the boundaries switch.  The overcrowding problem over the interim will be quite bad.  In other school districts, you change the boundaries and the kids switch schools the next year. [/quote]

^^ You cannot maintain that everything said once will continue in the future. Grandfathering might be okay for a year or two, but NOT for all kids to then continue onto the feeders for 15 years. That is not rational and DCPS needs to fix this now and not keep using bandaids.[/quote]
