Spartanburg Charter School

In the event that the number of applicants exceeds the capacity of the school, a lottery will be conducted in each grade level and division affected. The lottery will be duly publicized and held at an evening meeting open to the public. The lottery will proceed as follows:
 
 (1) For each applicant, Spartanburg Charter School personnel will create a lottery card bearing: (a) the name of the student, (b) his/her grade level, and (c) whether the student is applying for the Girls Division or the Boys Division. Spartanburg Charter School personnel will verify each lottery card against the application;

 (2) Spartanburg Charter School personnel will place each individual lottery card in an envelope noting only grade level and division to which the student is applying;

 (3) Spartanburg Charter School personnel will place all envelopes in large, transparent containers marked according to division and grade applied for, and the envelopes will be thoroughly shuffled;

 (4) A district representative will draw and open an envelope and Spartanburg Charter School personnel will record the applicant’s name and lottery order number on the applicant’s lottery card and the application;

 (5) This process will continue until all envelopes have been drawn, opened, and recorded;

 (6) The rosters for each grade of each division will include the names drawn by lottery number in order equaling the number of enrollment openings for each division in each grade.

 (7) The remaining names will be placed on a waiting list for that grade and division by lottery order number;

 (8) The process will be repeated for all affected classes.
