Wow, congrats to Crestwood!

Do you mean 16th St Heights rather than Crestwood? They're talking about West now feeding to Deals, right? So, are they going to start busing the lucky ducks who are now an hour walk away from school instead of 20mn?[/quote]

No, they are not talking about changing feeders. They are talking about extending a grandfathering. West will not feed to Deal.

Am I the only one actually watching/listening to this?   :)

some of us with West as our IB school have also had feeder rights to Deal all along.  What happens to us?  that would seem to be considered grandfathering to me. [/quote]

I am PP (the live blogger). Sorry to get technical with you, but you are confusing geographical attendance with feeders. If you are IB for West then you have never had a feeder right to Deal. You have had a geographical attendance right, which the Gray plan removed. Your geographical right is now grandfathered until 2022. Regardless of where your kids attend elementary school (private, charter, DCPS), if you were IB for Deal in the year 2013, then you continue to be IB for Deal until 2022. This means that people can continue to buy/rent in Crestwood or 16 st H until 2022 and send their kids to Deal. After that, no.

This much is clear. What remains unclear to me is, as I wrote above, Eaton and other reassigned neighborhoods/schools.

Thanks, I am the PP and this is a very helpful clarification about the difference between geographic rights and feeder schools.
