You may have to move the kids from a school into a new one after that year because of where you buy. Sure, it's not ideal.... but kids are more resilient than you think.
This is excellent advice regarding renting first. Our dumbest relocation decisions always happened when we did not know the area and bought a home instead of renting. And Kash is right … kids are very resilient and will be OK if you need to switch them into a better school the following year.
