At the end of the open enrollment period, the following situations may occur:
- The number of interested students does not exceed the current openings for a particular grade level at an academy.
- A lottery will not be held for that grade level at that academy.
- All students who submitted enrollment interest forms will be offered admission and invited to complete enrollment.
- The number of interested students exceeds the current openings for a particular grade level or levels in an academy.
- A lottery will be conducted for that grade level(s) for that academy using the following procedures:
- Families are not required to be present to participate in the lottery, which shall be based solely on timely submitted enrollment interest forms.
- Names will be randomly drawn and placed in the order drawn to fill the vacancies of the academy by grade level, starting with the lowest grade level and proceeding to the highest grade level for which a lottery is necessary.
- Once the particular grade level at the particular academy is filled to capacity, the remaining names will continue to be drawn for positions on the waiting list. Students who are not granted admission for the next school year will remain in the waiting list until the end of the school year for which the lottery was conducted unless otherwise requested to be removed by the parent/guardian or pupil who is 18 years old or older.
- In no event will a waiting list carry over to the following school year. Non-admitted students must reapply for the following year.
- Students whose enrollment interest forms are received after the open enrollment period deadline for the school year for whom there is not space available will be added to the end of the waiting list in the order in which they are received.
- In the event a vacancy occurs during the school year, students on the waiting list will be offered admission in waiting list order. The order of admission of students at any time during the school year shall be based solely on the order of applicants on the waiting list created during the lottery and added to by subsequent applications.
- Students who do not receive admission into the academy of their choosing have the option of enrolling in an academy in which there are openings.
