II. Board Recruitment
A.
possible nominations
We have several parents who are interested in being on the board. Discussion about how to handle the parent % issue along with having the board reflect diversity of Wesley student body.
III. Lottery update
A.
Analysis of lottery data
Jarod reported on lottery data. Wesley's weighted lottery worked better than Drew or ANCS, both of which had limitations due to zone preferences. 38% of non-sibling/employee applicant pool for kindergarten was economically disadvantaged but 91% of non-sibling/employee students admitted were economically disadvantaged. Later grades will not be filled until summer.
In December, we need to follow up on student data; how many economically disadvantaged children are actually enrolled, and how many siblings before setting lottery weighting.
Applications for lottery indicate whether they have siblings at Wesley, so we may need to add a brief period of time to consider sibling applicants before setting final ratio.
Next year lottery will run January 1 to Feb. 14, 2020. Jarod will review applications and make recommendation to Board at March 3, 2020 board meeting and lottery drawing is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, March 6, 2020.
