This is not DCPS policy.
DCPS policy is that if you start the year at your in-boundary school, and move mid-year within DC, you can finish out the year at your first school. For the next year you have to apply through the OOB lottery. However, principals have discretion to admit kids OOB, and many will routinely make an exception to accept former IB kids, even at overcrowded schools.
OOB kids who move during the school year within DC don't change their status.
While every year a few kids from other states get the boot, I have never heard of DCPS sanctioning a family who lived in DC for providing a false address. Others may have their own stories.
What's important to realize is that within the DC government boundary cheaters are an important constituency. It's one of the ways that DCPS inoculates itself against change. I've heard that China has a similar system of state-funded schools for the political elite.
I have worked for DCPS for years, and we do not ask families to leave if they move mid year. So yes, maybe this differs throughout schools because of the Principal's discretion policy, but we do not make them re-apply as OOB. Once you're in, your're in. Falsifying residency, however, is a totally different story that isn't taken lightly. Because PreK is not a mandatory school age, there is no "right to attend" even if you're in boundary. However, of course IB w/ sibling take first priority, then IB, then OOB w/sibling. However, in the more "in demand"...higher populated schools, many times there is still a wait list of IB families for PreK that may not be accomodated, but have guaranteed placement in Kindergarten.
If ever there's a question or doubt about residency, it's always recommended to report it directly to the school. Or not. Choice is yours.

I believe this has been left to principal discretion in the past, but the new DME recommendations will change it:
Recommendation 4: A student whose place of residence within the District of Columbia changes from one attendance zone to a different attendance zone shall be permitted to stay in the school until the end of the school year. The student must obtain a seat through the out-of-boundary lottery via the My School DC system in order to stay at the school beyond the end of the school year.

As for the set asides, the school is over capacity, if every year they let in ten percent for set asides.... what do we do, a third renovation? NO other elementary is growing at this rate.
Remember, "they" included Matt Frumin who made sure that the only change to Janney would be another renovation.
You may be smart and politically connected but it's all very obvious.

Look, you can excuse it all you want, but I am going to the authorities.
I rest my case.
OP is a loon. I hope the "authorities" get right on it.
