[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney Parent here: [b]I know of kids with IEPS who got seats, and some who did not,[/b] which means there are more than 11 ELLs and IEPs in that grade. Kids with 504s were NOT given any priority. Curious to hear if there is any movement this week as people give up spots.[/quote]

I’m shocked you know of kids without IEPs who got a seat. In fact, I’m dubious of that. Perhaps you don’t know they have an IEP and the parent is lying by saying they do not. The only other possibility is that the administration believes the child should have an IEP and is severely at risk for lack of one and learning lags and so a seat was given to them. I understand there are one or two seats per grade reserved for such teacher-identified preference [/quote]
They are stating some kids with IEPs who did not get a spot
Not some kids without IEPs who got spots.

Central office took all students with certain indicators on their profiles on a certain date and did a lottery.
If you look at the Janney school profile, there are 1% of the student body "at-risk", 4% ELL and 9% special education (IEP not 504).  Clearly a child could fall in multiple groups - but assuming that they don't, on average 14% of a class of will have been in the lottery for the at school instruction spots.[/quote]
