DeBruyn, Administrator <br /> <br />Re: Kindergarten Lottery Postponed <br /> <br />Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s), <br /> <br />I am writing this letter to inform you about a change in plans for the Kindergarten Lottery <br />originally scheduled for this Friday, February 1st to fill kindergarten openings at PACT Charter <br />School for the 2008-2009 school year. Due to events beyond our control, the lottery will need to <br />be postponed until AprillSth, at which time the kindergarten names will be included with our full <br />K-12 lottery for the upcoming school year. An explanation of the situation is included below. <br /> <br />We have been approached regarding the interpretation of:MN Statute 124.D and its implications <br />for enrollment in charter schools - specifically whether the term "town" can be applied to a <br />"City". The end result of the interpretation would provide Ramsey residents with preference in <br />enrollment equal to that of siblings within the school. Weare seeking clarification on the Statute <br />with the Department of Education and legal counsel to ensure that we remain in compliance with <br />the Statute while also determining policy that is in the best interest of the school and the <br />community. This change in policy. would have significant implications for all families on the <br />lottery list, currentlyl,600+ studeIits. <br /> <br />We apologize for any inconvenience that this change in time line may cause for you. We will do <br />our best to seek a timely resolution. <br /> <br />Danie .C. DeBruyn <br />Administrator <br />PACT Charter School <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />-36- <br />
