[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have any problem with moving immersion to be closer to native populations. But there's still a huge issue that won't be solved by moving the program alone-- getting these families to enter the lottery 6 months before school starts.

If we had the earlier situation where there was a guaranteed neighborhood entry, it would be very different. But even if you plop a school right in the middle of a 100% Spanish-speaking neighborhood, if you don't invest the time and money to communicate the lottery system to them, you're not going to see the droves of walkers that people assume would enroll.

My understanding is that the seats stay open until the end of summer before they are offered to people on the English speaker wait list. Even if the initial lottery is missed someone could still enroll up through July or so. Is it possible the interest just isn't there?[/quote]

How many people enroll in Kindergarten the week or couple wks before school starts? [/quote]
