Our school is not very competitive but does have a wait list b/c of vouchers. Their policy i think is no more than 30 days in a 6m period or you risk losing your spot.
Trudy is yours any vacation at all?? That's bananas.
I think a week long vacation would probably be fine, even though it's technically not allowed, I'm sure I could say it was for a family reason or something. I know for sure that taking a month off would lead to her losing her spot.
