Lottery Process
Florida law requires charter schools to admit students via a random selection process or lottery when the number of applications exceeds capacity. Enrollment is open on a first come, first-serve basis, until the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the program, class, grade level or building. Once capacity has been reached, students wishing to enroll will be subject to a lottery selection per Florida Statutes. Prior to conducting a lottery, enrollment preference may be given to:
- students who are siblings of a student enrolled in the charter school,
- students who are the children of a member of the governing board of the charter school,
- students who are the children of an employee of the charter school,
- students who have been in a Pre-K program in The Padawan Academy and/or who have siblings of The Padawan Academy and,
- students who are the children of active-duty members of any branch of the armed forces.
Should a lottery be necessary San Jose Primary will publish the dates of the upcoming lottery. The lottery will be conducted randomly and electronically. Families of students on the waitlist will be notified within 48 business hours of the lottery as to whether their student was randomly chosen for a spot based on the lottery or whether they remain on the waitlist. The school will continue to fill spots, as they become available, from the students who are on the waitlist. New applications will be added to the bottom of the waitlist.
