Yep. They will be out a full year of tuition if they elect to take a TJ spot.

This is why I suspect they will do everything they can to release decisions on Friday, May 28 at 4 PM.

That seems highly unlikely when their email to families said "mid to late June."

Every normal year they quote April 30 as the deadline for releasing decisions and every year they're finished up in late March.

They want to yield as many kids as possible of the ones they select so that they don't have to dig down the list. They know about the June 1 deadline for private school contracts and it will look terrible for them if tons of families turn TJ away.

Pretty confident in my prediction.

Why not? This is not difficult if they have done admissions work before.

I will send an email to school board members..

They will need lawyers vetting every admissions decision that gets made as a lawsuit is inevitable. Of course it will take forever. These idiots broke something that didn't need to be fixed and in the process have made sure everyone else gets inconvenienced as well. Cannot wait to vote this idiotic School Board OUT.

I’m positive my son will get in, so we are making plans now.

The entire School Board needs to be replaced, and the first order of business for the next one should be to fire Brabrand for cause.

I cannot believe how badly the school board screwed this up.

It really is unfair to the base schools, in addition to the applicants.
