For whatever reason, the principal was not supportive of the request. Our school didn't even show up as option at all until the school did something on the back end. They let me know when I could go back into the request form and it was there for me to choose. I'm glad your DC is fine in their new school; you don't want to be in a school where the principal won't go the extra mile for you.

Did you talk at all to the principal of her original school? I just want to clarify I was a PP and I approached our principal BEFORE initiating the request to see if she would sign off on it. She said she would approve it, so I got the documentation ready and did the first part of the application. Then I let the registrar know I had done that. The principal and registrar do something in SIS and then it showed up. That's when I chose the school and paid my $100. Like I said before, if you have a truly valid reason to attend a specific school, the principal will most likely work with you. Whether or not the school was at capacity never entered into the discussion for us.
