[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=dcmom]Next year, after the lottery occurs, the principals will no longer manage the waitlists, according to the MSDC people at the focus group I attended. All waitlists will be managed centrally through MSDC. This year, MSDC only did the lottery, not the waitlist management.[/quote]

there are 2 separate things at play:
1.  Waitlist mgmt - are they following the order of the waitlist
2.  Principal discretion - does the principal allow someone into the school outside of the standards of inbounds and waitlists.

But next year onwards a principal won't be able to do this second thing above without the central office noticing the discrepancy between waitlist and enrollment. After a quick and computer automated accounting they'll say wait, those last two kids you admitted to fill the class, they weren't next on the list. Where did they come from? And so principals will have to justify such things on the basis of hardship or whatever criteria. It will be a lot harder to cheat waitlists, provided central office does a proper job. Bravo.
