1. Upon closing of each Registration Phase period, if the number of qualified applications exceeds the projected number of available seats for any or all grade levels, a random selection (Lottery), open to the public, will be conducted at the Neighborhood Charter School.
2. All qualifying applicants will be contacted of date, time and place of Lottery via phone and/or web-posting.
3. Lottery will begin with each qualifying applicant’s representative signing in. If applicant’s parent/guardian cannot be present at the Lottery, their name will still be placed in the lottery pool for selection.  Each name will be written on a strip of paper and placed in a specified container. All strips will be the same in weight and size.
4. The names will be randomly selected from container by grade level.  The order will begin with Fifth descending to Kindergarten.

• Siblings will be given priority placement for available seats, even if the random selection process has already occurred for the sibling’s grade.  The sibling will be placed at the top of the list with subsequent names shifting down the list

5. The names will be recorded as they are pulled until all the seats at that grade level are filled.

6. Once all seats are filled, the remaining names will be placed on the waiting list in the order in which they are drawn.

7. If additional seats become available after the Lottery, they will be filled from the applicants, in order, on the waiting list.
