So this means that I can rent an apartment in 321 zone the summer befor my oldest child has to register for kindergarten, move to Marine Park, have three more children within four years and register them at 321 as well. This might be worth a short term lease.
9:26 is right. The DOE is struggling with overcrowding in the more popular schools (i.e. 321) and as a result, what used to be true – “once you’re in you’re in” – can certainly not be counted on any more.
“Once you’re in, you’re in, and younger siblings are in (for schools with sibling preference) and you’re considered in-district for middle school even if your new house is in, say, Flatbush.”
That is NOT AT ALL TRUE! It used to be, but the board of Ed has gotten much stricter about living in the district. I know a number of people who moved out of good districts assuming that their kids could stay in the school only to find out that they were no longer able to. Now all those kids are in private school.

Just to clarify, Guest 5:28, the apostrophe in “it’s” would of course be correct if we were using the word as the contraction of “it is.” In the possessive, of course, it’s correct to omit the apostrophe in “its.”
And while we’re at it:
“your” as in your car
“you’re” as in you are buying a car.
I share your outrage. Grade school ain’t what it used to be. Fight the power.

9:26 – my children go to 321, and once you’re in, you’re still in there and they also still provide variances for siblings.

Watch your typing everybody – the grammar trolls are on the prowl.

no – once you are in, you are in.
