Agreed. And I'm not picking on this particular poster...particularly since she clarified that she's not at Powell now. As she rightly pointed out, inboundary families can't "lottery" for K and above because they get in as a matter of right. But once you do make the decision to not exercise that right by enrolling in and attending another public school (DCPS or charter) you should not just be able to show up whenever you want. If you want to get back into your old local school, you should have to lottery for it as if you were OOB. [/quote]

I am sorry but that is ridiculous. The whole idea behind a neighborhood system is so that everyone DOES have a back-up school at any and all times in a kid's academic career. That is the way it should be![/quote]

Do you have any idea how planning and budgeting works? Would you be happy if 20 additional and unexpected inboundary children showed up at your child's school the first day of school and suddenly the 20:1 ratio in your child's class was 30:1? Please think about that.  [/quote]

How is that significantly different from if a bunch of families with school-age kids move into the Powell IB area during the course of the school year from somewhere outside D.C. and want to send their kids there? [/quote]
