Thank you, I am aware that lottery takes place when too many students/parents apply and that if a student has a sibling in a charter they will get preference because there is a benefit to them being together. I say there are more selective because that is the national perspective and I want to make sure that in Jersey City, people know how they work and if they work (like with your children). If there is more support and the right kind of support, where students feel they're cared for, that is something that makes a significant difference.

No, there is always a lottery, in every instance. We came to TECCS in the second year it was a school and they ended up going through the whole waiting list to fill their spots, but they still started with a lottery. There is never not a lottery. I beg you, do literally any research into how our charter schools work before you try writing about them.
