When do we hear about TJ admission?

what a cluster. to be fair, they need to have all the i's dotted and t's crossed for the inevitable lawsuits.

What a total mess. It's not just TJ, as all the other high schools will have to readjust their fall classes based on how many kids from their pyramids end up at TJ and how many end up at their base schools.

The entire School Board needs to be replaced, and the first order of business for the next one should be to fire Brabrand for cause.

Families who also applied to private are totally screwed, as tuition contracts are due June 1.

It really is unfair to the base schools, in addition to the applicants.

Yep. They will be out a full year of tuition if they elect to take a TJ spot.

I cannot believe how badly the school board screwed this up.

This is why I suspect they will do everything they can to release decisions on Friday, May 28 at 4 PM.

That seems highly unlikely when their email to families said "mid to late June."

I’m positive my son will get in, so we are making plans now.

I just called and was told there is "no way" they will have decisions before June 1st.

Why not? This is not difficult if they have done admissions work before.

They will need lawyers vetting every admissions decision that gets made as a lawsuit is inevitable. Of course it will take forever. These idiots broke something that didn't need to be fixed and in the process have made sure everyone else gets inconvenienced as well. Cannot wait to vote this idiotic School Board OUT.

Every normal year they quote April 30 as the deadline for releasing decisions and every year they're finished up in late March.

They want to yield as many kids as possible of the ones they select so that they don't have to dig down the list. They know about the June 1 deadline for private school contracts and it will look terrible for them if tons of families turn TJ away.

Pretty confident in my prediction.
