Transferring to OUSD from a private school

After being burned by the lottery I’m considering a serious career change so we can afford private school :/ In the case that we do enroll our kid in private for kindergarten, how difficult might it be to transfer back to OUSD mid year should an ideal opening pop up? What has been your experience transferring from private?

We know several families who've done this--it's generally not a big deal, as long as you understand that you will owe the private tuition for the year even if you leave. But yes, if you're open to doing it, there are certainly spots that open mid-year in the in-demand OUSD schools. Those we know who've done it have had positive experiences and I don't think any regret it--most had younger children coming up through the school system so eating the cost of a year of tuition was worth it to secure the public spot.
