[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that I noticed is that the sibling preference seems to hurt extended families who live together. E.g., two half-sisters are both single moms and they live together, raising their two daughters more like sisters than cousins. Because of the dynamic of the family, the cousins need to go to the same school (perhaps one aunt does drop-off and one does pick-up). They are forced, therefore, into the IB school because the HRC does not give them sibling preference and they can't handle two different pick-up, drop-offs. I think if DCPS wanted to make a difference for DC families, situations like these should have been given sibling preference.[/quote] Actually each charter can define sibling differently and some have broader definitions. But you have to know to ask / do the research. [/quote]
