Admitting that even with many regions and many regional programs they won't have enough seats to meet all the kids who qualify. [/quote]

They said, and repeated later, that "interest-based" is lottery, not criteria.

You don't need a lottery for criteria-based programs, because they can opaquely claim that the selection process isn't a lottery. They aren't lotteries today, but they are subjective admissions judgments.[/quote]

You are incorrect. They absolutely stated that for criteria based programs, they will set minimum criteria and anyone who meets those gets placed in a lottery. Like the middle school magnets. This is a huge change from the way they handle high school criteria programs currently.

They are keeping lotteries and keeping set asides. So you still have different chances based on your zip code. [/quote]

We're arguing about what was said by someone who had trouble speaking in complete sentences.

Here's the FAQ:

Will the new Regional Programs be lottery-based or criteria-based?

The new regional programs are expected to include both interest-based (lottery) and criteria-based program options, similar to the current system.
