[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. I also think waiting until towards the end of the academic year makes the most sense. I don't see a compelling reason to rush the magnet decision. There is a good chance we may be in a much better position towards the end of the academic year that would allow test administration.[/quote]

I agree that Spring may be better in terms of COVID, but I imagine that there is a lot of planning/logistics around HS student enrollment, and waiting may not be practical or feasible for scheduling classes, etc. for next school year. There are a lot of moving parts with [b] lottery programs, application programs and the DCC. [/b] [/quote]

LOTTERY PROGRAMS ARE NOT TEST-IN - only "Criteria based" Magnets.

Catch up. Pay attention. FFS[/quote]

I know people are touchy about this point, but there's need to shout. The PP clearly understood the distinctions, because they listed the types of programs separately.

But my 8th grader filled out forms for three different types of HS programs this year: 2 criteria-based magnet programs (PP's "application programs"), 1 lottery program, and a DCC choice form. Those are the multiple "moving parts" PP was referring to. None of the high schools in the DCC know what their incoming freshman class will look like until all three processes have run their course and students have made their final selections.

I agree that waiting until later in the spring to send out invitations to the criteria-based programs would probably throw things off quite a bit. There's a reason they normally do these things so early. [/quote]
