When is the Charter School Lottery Announced for 2018-2019 school year?

[Anonymous]

I was searching for a date or a general time frame of when the charter school lottery results will be announced.

I think the charter school lottery is at the same time as the specialty program lottery.

I called the office and was told in February. However you cannot find this information anywhere on the website.

Okay thanks guys, i thought it was just me. I searched as well and was wondering if there was a date that i should look out for. If anyone hears of any results or date please post.

I've been searching for contact info regarding application follow up. I didn't receive any confirmation emails/numbers. If someone has contact info for the specialty programs office, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

When I first thought I submitted the application I did not get a confirmation email. I went back and did it again and received a confirmation email.

Will the lottery results for charter come through the mail first or do they release them online or by email.

When I called, I was told that we should expect letters just before spring break. However, mom told me she knows someone who already got their results. Perhaps all the letters do not come out at once? Logistically, that would make sense.

Does anyone know where you can check your results online? Someone mentioned that this is another way to get results, although the letters are more accurate.

Why isn't there one consistent answer?! I was trying to give at least the charter schools a chance, but private contracts are due next week and no one seems to know when the results will be released. There is a clear timeline for the specialty programs, why not for the charter school results?! This is my first interaction with the school system and it is not making me want to continue to deal with their disorganization.

Yeah, i am getting annoyed as well. The high school results are out and no information on charter schools. If it is public why is it such a secret. I should be a set day, results are sent and over. The lottery started in November. If anyone got any results please post for charter.

I have not received anything by mail. When I called two weeks ago I was told no later than March 9th.

The charter school office told me Mar 2nd then Mar 9th. The charter school said it would come out around spring break with the other lottery results.

Well, I am waiting with bated breath. If anyone receives your results, please post so the rest of us can stalk our mail carriers.
