Lottery Process

In compliance with MGL Chapter 71, Section 89, students shall be accepted for admission to Sturgis Charter Public School by a lottery process in cases where there are fewer spaces than eligible applicants. From the ending date of each enrollment period, the school will give at least one week notice of the lottery. The lottery will be held in public at Sturgis’ community center at 529 Main Street in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Students who have completed the enrollment process will be identified according to the following priorities for admission at each grade level:

 

  • Siblings (resident or non-resident) of students currently attending Sturgis Charter Public School in the year of application. Siblings are defined as students who have a common parent, either biologically or legally through adoption;
  • Residents of the following school districts—Barnstable, Bourne, Carver, Dennis-Yarmouth, Falmouth, Mashpee, Monomoy (Chatham/Harwich), Nauset, Plymouth, Provincetown, Sandwich, and Wareham;
  • Non-residents of the school districts listed above.

Each year, the lottery process and results will be public and audited. Sturgis will use software to conduct the lottery electronically and a neutral party shall certify that the process is fair and that the selection is random. The electronic lottery first generates a random lottery number for each applicant to determine the initial random rank order. After the initial random rank order has been determined, preferences for admission will be applied. As identified above, applicants with sibling status will receive first priority for admission, followed by the resident applicants, and then the non-resident applicants. While the applicant’s preferred campus will be taken into consideration when making offers of admission, Sturgis may assign students, in accordance with this enrollment policy, to a specified campus for reasons of geographic proximity, student safety, or program delivery. Each campus will be filled based on preferences for admission, the initial random rank order, and applicant campus preference. Once all of the available seats at one campus are filled, the rest of the offers of admission will go to the other campus. Students who do not receive an offer of admission during the lottery will be placed on the waitlist in the order their names were drawn. Students who have been given an offer of admission or who have been placed on the waiting list will be informed of their status in writing within two weeks of the date of the lottery. Results will also be posted on the school’s website by “applicant number”. Students offered admission from the waiting list during the lottery school year, from the date of the lottery until the end of May, have 30 days to respond; offers made during June until mid-August, have two weeks to respond, while offers made from the one week prior to school until Feb. 15 of the school year have one week to respond. Reasonable proof of current residency and sibling status is necessary at the time an offer of admission is made. If the initial enrollment process fails to fill available admission spaces, Sturgis may repeat the process more than once providing such process is fair and open and the school gives reasonable public notice at least one month prior to the application deadline. The required lottery process noted above is strictly followed, including public notification and deadlines.
