How Does the Tanque Verde USD Lottery Work?
Open Enrollment students will be offered placement subject to capacity (school, grade level, program, and/or services).
Applications for Open Enrollment for the Lottery are accepted from November 1st to mid-January (deadline varies each year).
- If an application is received after the January deadline, it will still be reviewed, and the student will be considered if an opening becomes available.
- If the number of applications exceeds capacity limitations, a random Lottery selection will be made after the designated deadline in January.
- Selections will be based on the enrollment priorities set out in Governing Board Policy 5-105 Open Enrollment.
- Families who have been selected for Open Enrollment will be notified after the lottery.
- Applications received after the January deadline will not be included in the random lottery selection process; however, placement may still be offered.
- An Open Enrollment Waiting List is maintained for each school.
