If they requested transfers or moved during open enrollment, they wouldn't show up on the waitlist.<br /><br />Sealth is set to lose 3 teachers if I remember correctly and Hale 1.6? I am surprised we haven't heard from more schools in regards to this.<br /><br />HPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-84746138402467804732016-06-30T10:05:37.963-07:002016-06-30T10:05:37.963-07:00HP, did you read about Sealth?

If they were trying to get into Garfield and let in despite overcrowding, then I would think it was an issue. Transferring to RBHS which is under enrolled or Hale that will be losing teachers due to enrollment drops should be allowed.<br /><br />HPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-60281130096770319312016-06-29T18:44:11.766-07:002016-06-29T18:44:11.766-07:00I think in all cases where there be questions, add...I think in all cases where there be questions, address verification might be a good thing.
