[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another poster here - I also know a kid who got in for middle school because child was being bullied. Parent also happened to be a county employee but I don't know if that made a difference. Child thrived and blossomed at HB.

I also think that families who already have one child at HB get some kind of admissions bump because I know many, many families whose second child got in despite the huge odds. It seems to me more than coincidence. JMO[/quote]

True, but they're not supposed to as laid out in the lottery process.

Who's not supposed to? The bullied child? There are explicit policies in place administrative placements outside of the lottery, and it can cover situations like this (e.g., if the bullied child has autism and is being moved into the HB autism program). It's not a secret.[/quote]

Sorry, sibling preference.  No issue with the kid being bullied or the ASD program which I "think" is separate from the lottery, etc.
