Little Known Details of the Controlled Choice Plan

Going through the Controlled Choice plan, I found some interesting details that aren't widely known. 

•  Your choices are determined by your node.  The choices themselves are determined by the distance from the center of your node.  But the proximity of your choices is determined by your specific address.  People within a node can have proximity priority for different schools.
•  Transfer requests can still be made, but only to a school not on your magnet or base school choice lists.  So if all of your neighbors got into School A and your child is the only one going to School B, you cannot apply for a transfer to School A.  If School A was your first choice, you will be placed on the waiting list but you cannot apply for a transfer.
• You can no longer turn down a year round school because of the track.  Track allocations are made after school assignments are given.  If you don't like your track and the school is unable to change it, the only recourse you have is to apply for a transfer.  But remember--you can't apply for a transfer to a school on your original choice list and you won't have transportation if you get a transfer.
