[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an area in PGCPS where the lack of transparency is appalling and makes the school system look dishonest. Why can’t they fix this? It’s relatively easy to do this by computer.[/quote]

I wouldn't say dishonest, but definitely incompetent. I agree, this should be an automated process. Too much human error. [/quote]

I've heard too many parents comment about getting their kids into a specialty program through a back door for me to wonder about the honesty. When you are told that there are alternative ways for those in the know and the lottery isn't transparent, it's very easy to wonder and the lack of transparency makes it look worse.  Why can't they update the lottery list? The whole thing should be automatic as kids get placed. There isn't a reason to have to spend time updating it. If there are 25 seats, you cross out the first 25 seats as the students register. [/quote]

I’ve had kids in the school system for 6 years and I have never heard of anyone actually getting into specialty programs through a back door.

I think that the notification process is completely broken but I don’t question the integrity of the staff.
