[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why does Bridges appear to have several different types of waitlists? "Special classroom," "IEP" and I guess their regular waitlist? Does Bridges have the ability/approval to have children apply to different categories? Like Oyster does for Spanish and English tracks? [/quote] Yes - it's a new-ish thing. It was first allowed for the 16-17 lottery. A school can now offer a special needs preference for a self-contained classroom. There are significant costs associated with running and staffing these, because the teacher-student ratio is much lower To apply you must have an existing IEP that has >15 or 20 hours a week of specialized instruction. Schools who offer it also must have a track record of serving special needs students well, and agree to specific ways of measuring progress for those students who enroll. Bridges is the only charter that has asked for permission to offer the preference. [/quote]
