[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that once a child is enrolled in a school, he or she can keep that enrollment throughout the entire school year even if the parents move.  The following year, they'd have to register in the new location where the parents are living. [/quote]

children can stay and matriculate through the feeder pattern even if they move out of boundary.  the do not have to leave the next school year.  [/quote]

This is not DCPS policy.

DCPS policy is that if you start the year at your in-boundary school, and move mid-year within DC, you can finish out the year at your first school. For the next year you have to apply through the OOB lottery.  However, principals have discretion to admit kids OOB, and many will routinely make an exception to accept former IB kids, even at overcrowded schools.

OOB kids who move during the school year within DC don't change their status.

While every year a few kids from other states get the boot, I have never heard of DCPS sanctioning a family who lived in DC for providing a false address. Others may have their own stories.

What's important to realize is that within the DC government boundary cheaters are an important constituency. It's one of the ways that DCPS inoculates itself against change. I've heard that China has a similar system of state-funded schools for the political elite.[/quote]
