        Hello everyone!

        May I get some advise? The school I’m looking at falls under the same GRC as where I’m residing; Tanjong Pagar GRC. However the school falls under a different division from where I’m residing though we are grouped under the same GRC. So should I be calling up to be a volunteer at the division that the school is in or the division that I’m staying in? I’m quite confused. Hope to get some enlightenment! Thank you!! 🙂
        Unfortunately there is a recent announcement that changed this… GRL will only be granted 2B to schools within 2km of registered address. It will no longer be tied to election boundaries…..

          This is new. When does the 2 km rule take effect? Thanks.

              But the keyword are “gain priority admission thru their distance category”, not “no balloting”.

              So (for example), if your child got in with no balloting at 2B because all <1km no balloting, but 1-2km folks had to ballot, then you have “gained priority admission through your distance category” and should be obliged to fulfill your <1km for 30 months.[/quote]
              this is the best reply - regarding the restrictive 30month rule.

              don't think in terms of balloting, think in terms of advantage gained instead.


              Why?
              Scenario 1
              you are within 1km thus no ballot.
              balloting occurred outside 2km.
              --> need to fulfil 30 months as you had an advantage because of distance. (although to you, there was no balloting)

              Scenario 2
              you are within 1km thus no ballot.
              1-2km no ballot- exact number applied vs exact places.
              --> need to fulfil 30 months as you had an advantage because of distance. (although to you, there was no balloting for you, you won't be there if you stayed outside 2km)




              Only way around it is:
              38 places for 2b
              37 applied.
              all get in without balloting. (stay on Mars also got in)
              --> since no distance was used to distinguish applicants, no need to fulfile 30 month rule as no advantage was gained
