[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once the 120 days goes by are these kids plucked out again, or do they have the right to remain at the school in-bounds for the shelter?[/quote]

If they switch to the school that is IB to the shelter, they have a right to remain at that school for the rest of the school year, but not after that.  Then they would have to switch to their new IB school or enter the lottery (if they wanted to remain at the shelter IB school).[/quote]

not true. homeless (or until recently homeless) kids have federal rights outside or normal lottery rules. They could stay.

I cannot assure you that it is true that these kids only have rights at the shelter IB school until the end of the year, but I can assure you that it what DC (i.e. Head of DC DHS, Laura Zeilinger) has been telling folks. [/quote]

I can assure you it is in FACT 100% untrue.  The kids have an absolute right to stay in there school.  Laura is only telling a half truth.  The kids no longer get to stay in the school base on there residency at the shelter after the year is finished, but they 100% have a right to stay at the school under federal law.  [/quote]
