And those schools have been opened for years with full admin staff. CM is only on their second year with an admin staff of 3 (including the principal) and still is expected to send out personalized emails to ever single applicant. Wow.


Isn't sending an email much easier and more cost efficient than mailing a postcard? Seems the perfect solution for a small admin staff.

Many schools last year just out the list online. Don't know why that would be hard to do for CM, LAMB, and other non-common lottery schools. Could follow up with a postcard too.

Actually, it is easier to set up the emails on outlook than to send the postcards

has CM invested in Outlook? Many schools use a low cost email system like having gmail host.

True. The Aidan's and Sophia's are anonymous, but Anastasia, Ivor, and Hansel are spotted easily.

Not me. There is also an accountability to it by making it public. Schools generally put the first name and last initial, along with the birthdate.

I worked for non profit organizations for years. Even with multiple email addresses it makes total sense to have an mail system that works as it will save time and money in the long run. if CM is using a non professional system they should look into bringing on board someone who will help them figure our where to spend and where to save.

If CM were really concerned about employee time and the cost of the lottery, they would have joined the common lottery.

My child has a very unique name, first name last initial will identify her.

Same with mine, but I am okay with it. I don't see why it matters.

I wish I was so naive as to have to ask this question. You must live in a pretty, pretty world.
