[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so the regions would let kids just lottery into other schools that have space?  That seems...idk...opposed to the idea of neighborhood schools.[/quote]

Slides were up so briefly but I think it's based on program interest and student qualifications, as opposed to "I'd just rather go to Whitman," etc.[/quote]

so it'll be like CES where there are far more qualified students than spaces, and then there's a lottery?

this is all so gross.[/quote]

Why would you assume that?  There's presumably going to be 3 to 6 times as many spots open for the new regional programs as there are now for the current whole or half-county programs.  And who said anything about changing the application based programs to lottery based?[/quote]

why would i assume...what?  that it's a lottery?  because CES is a lottery after the 'application'.  that's why I would assume that.  also because we have no info otherwise.

Sure but CES has been a lottery for years and the high school magnets haven't been.   It would be a huge change and while I suppose it is not impossible, why suddenly act like they are planning to switch from applications to lottery when there is no evidence of that whatsoever?  You can't just pull "they made a change for elementary schools years ago so clearly they are going to make this change for high schoolers now" out of thin air.
