Hi Dottie -
Thanks so much for the welcome. Yes, we are lucky to have a variety of opportunities, but unfortunately, the programs are very small, with far more qualified applicants than seats. DH, the eternal optimist, keeps saying that *someone* has to get in, so why not DD4? I wish I could be so hopeful...
I'm glad that your local school is being at least somewhat cooperative in meeting your child's/children's needs. If we don't win the lotteries, I'll certainly be calling upon you for advice on how to get the ball rolling in this regard!

BTW, I love the DOK acronym!
