My goal in starting this charter is to provide a quality education to the children in the community I live in. I was a little hesitant and worried because I thought that there wouldn’t be a way for us to guarantee that all of the children in our community who wanted to attend could get in. If the number of applying students exceeds the cap you’ve set for your enrollment you have to conduct a lottery and not everyone would get in.
The strategy to prevent this is to set our initial enrollment cap to be the number of K-8 grade students in the Lowell School District boundaries. This wouldn’t be the actual enrollment at Lowell. It would be the number of children living in the boundaries. We then limit our enrollment to kids residing in the Lowell School District boundaries.
