Bexley School System
The Bexley school year started on August 22, 2007.  School principals have the discretion to allow pupils to enroll at the start of the school year before they are physically resident in Bexley, if their parents can show documentation to indicate purchase of a Bexley home within a few months or a signed lease on a Bexley home for occupation in a few months.  At the moment it looks as if I will be leaving the US on October 15.  Thus, it is not a problem in getting your child or children into the Bexley School System at this late date.
