School Troubles

So school hasn't even started for H and already we are having troubles. For those of you who are lucky enough to be in districts that allow you to choose the school to attend...count your blessings. Unfortunately H will be a school hopper, something I desperately wanted to avoid with this move. We are currently living within the school boundaries of BL Elementary School. We requested a boundary exemption to BN Elementary School which is in the area we are building our home. When I went to register him I had to complete a boundary exemption form, complete with a notary fee, etc. It took us 2 days to track down all the right information to get this done. When J dropped off the form they called the school and they said it was no big deal he should be approved. Well, today I got a letter in the mail telling us otherwise. Basically they are claiming that the kindergarten is too full and even though we own a lot we cannot have our child go to school there. Does anyone else find this bizarre? So for now it appears that we will have him attend one school either for the year or until our home is done. The only good news is he can ride the bus now - which will be nice. I hope this isn't hard on him :( Oh, and as a side note John plans on complaining about the whole process (well his words were a bit different), misinformation, etc. and remember he is a distict employee (as the middle school soccer coach) - oh boy this could get interesting.
