Sibling Preference Resolution

Advocating for students and their parents, this resolution strongly recommends the DOE immediately revise its Sibling Priority policy (before Mar 1) and either extend sibling preference to the brothers and sisters of 6th graders and 7th graders, regardless of the older child’s admissions method or there should be NO sibling preference beyond a possible adjustment for siblings born on the same day (i.e., twins, triplets, etc.).
