Enrollment Information Update

Thanks to the heads up by RavennaJen (hey neighbor!), there is a PDF posted by the Enrollment Office over the automated phone snafu as well as other enrollment information. Among the information:

• An override command inadvertently downloaded preliminary assignment information for next year to the automated phone line before the information was proofed and finalized. This should not have happened and we apologize for any inconvenience.
  

• A cross-departmental team has been working hard to process assignments. At this time it looks like we will be ahead of schedule with getting letters out to families and providing information to schools. (Original estimate was late May).
  

• Schools can’t assign students to classes until this data transfer is complete.
  

• Schools need not only individual student names, but a summary report of projected enrollment, space available, waiting lists, etc. The target date for providing this information is Friday, April 30. We updated the School Board last week to say that we expect to have that information available earlier this week, with subsequent statistics available next week (the first week in May). I think one interesting (and major) statistic will be how many students did not accept their attendance school assignment. It is still unclear to me how the district will know, until the first day of school, how many people DID accept their attendance area assignment since they weren't (as I recall it) supposed to do anything.
  

• They give the process by which they get out assignment letters in an effort to explain why it takes so long to get assignment letters.

So now you know. Therefore, any info you got from the automated line should be treated as suspect. It could be right but don't count on it.
