Morning Report
The Pre-K coverage in today's Times brings familiar tales of woe -- siblings bounced, in-zone kids displaced by out-of-zone applicants -- but some semi-encouraging news: it seems that OSEPO might reconsider its plan to standardize next year's kindergarten admissions. Other reports (and our own communication with the DOE) suggest that the DOE will be moving the middle school process earlier in the calendar year next year, to prevent bottlenecks and delays. While it's little salve for this year's slings and arrows, at least there's hope that a) they're listening and b) the process just may improve in its next iteration.
For readers waiting for answers to specific questions, we're still waiting, too. With luck, we'll have responses soon.

Great article, but doesn't address the WHERE HAVE ALL THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LETTERS GONE EXACTLY question...
That question remains wide open - if and when I get any kind of on-the-record answer, I'll report it.
Received my letter in today's mail but I already knew the placement.
Let's face it, they will take care of the most prominent, squeakiest wheels and hope the rest goes away relatively quietly. You just know Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn lady will eventually get her kid in any middle school she wants. At this point, if you want justice, you better hope you have access to the media.
I received a letter directly from the middle school my child was accepted at on Wednesday and today received the "official" DOE letter.
