The Lottery
Financial Assistance
A lottery system will affect new Stargate applicants for the 2008-2009 school year and beyond.  Previously qualified, wait listed families are exempted from this process.
All students on existing wait lists may will remain on those lists until they receive seat offers, so long as they confirm their interest in remaining on the wait list in writing each winter, per our admissions policy. 
In grades 1-6, existing wait lists will be used until all in-district students on the lists receive seat offers.    Once the wait list at each grade is exhausted, the lottery process will affect applicants for that grade going forward.
At any grade level where there is currently no wait list (Kindergarten every year), a lottery process will determine seating for all qualified students as seats become available.
In Kindergarten and all other grades affected by the lottery, qualified siblings receive the first available seats.   All remaining seats are subject to lottery and will be filled by random pulls from the pool of qualified applicants.  After initial seats are pulled to match the number of available seats, a reserve list of 10 students per grade level will be generated.  If initial seat offers are declined, we will make seat offers to the students off the reserve list in the order they were pulled. This reserve list will be scrapped and regenerated each admissions season.
