[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We live in Petworth, spent one year at Powell and like it just fine, and then got zoned out in the re-drawn boundaries. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that the only way we can stay at the school is to maintain our current address. I do think it would be great if some families tried out other schools in the area like Bruce Monroe and Truesdale, and also felt it was worth a longer term investment. But if your family has become a part of school family, thrown your support behind its rising status, given time and money, known its students, faculty and parents on a first-name basis, you should be allowed to enroll for as long as you're paying DC taxes.[/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]

Whenever boundaries have been redrawn there has been a phase-in period for family caught in the crease. Did that not happen this time?[/quote]

Oh really?  When was the last time boundaries were redrawn?

We're allowed to stay as long we're at our current address.  If we move to any address outside the school's boundary, we're supposed to lottery as OOB to re-enroll, even if that address is closer to the school than we are now.  Seems a ridiculous waste of time to check and make sure addresses match the previous year's, especially for a school trying to build its status.

If Janney and Lafayette are itching to push people out, fine, whatever.  But there's not a lot of sense to it EOTP.[/quote]
