[quote=Anonymous]Principal Pride offered something like 70 or 80 OOB lottery spots for 6th grade for the 2015-16 school year. In last year's lottery the number dropped to 25 spots offered in the initial lottery (lots were offered spots off of the waitlist later), so she was able to set the bar much lower with "Central's" permission. I think it's wrong to make schools commit to specific numbers of lottery spots in advance of a mid-December lottery launch. That is many months before IB/Feeder families have to submit enrollment paperwork, several months before school budgets are finalized. It seems to require a lot of reading of tea leaves. Open the lottery, don't specify how many spots are being offered by grade until the results are announced in April. That would allow principals the time to develop more accurate predictions for the following school year's enrollment. [/quote]
