That’s why Ian Thomas got a letter this week explaining that his rising kindergartner would no longer be given a seat at the school. Thomas and his wife live outside Nebinger’s catchment, but their now-second grader was given a spot at Nebinger through the district’s school selection process. When it came time to think about where to send their younger child to kindergarten, they knew they wanted Nebinger — Thomas is on the school’s advisory council, and his wife is active in Friends of Nebinger, the nonprofit associated with the school. They received assurances from the school’s principal that their son was in.
