I agree that anyone should be able to test in as bilingual, assuming there are spots available after the programmatic feeder students have been accepted. It's win-win-win to have kids coming from Spanish immersion charters to MacFarland, or just kids who speak it at home and are fluent.

In my mind the lottery preferences for MacFarland dual language at grades 6, 7 and 8 would be:

1) Students from dual language feeders (guaranteed spots)
2) Students IB for MacFarland who can prove proficiency in a test (guaranteed spots)
3) Students OOB who can prove proficiency in a test (if there is space)

You'd have to work in the usual sibling preferences too.

Students IB and OOB who cannot prove proficiency would not be admitted to the dual language program, but IB would be guaranteed spots at the English program and OOB could apply for available spots in the English program.

I haven't thought it through a great deal but this makes sense to me at first blush.
