Dr. Ivey shared the Overview of the Lottery Procedures.

Dr. Ivey introduced the three special "Lottery Clickers." These three individuals attended the original Liberty Street Elementary School back in 1949. These three individuals attended grades 1-6 at the original school. Tommy, Lidia, and Rose were invited to help Mrs. Rhodes with the Lottery. 

Dr. Ivey shared different data points about the applicants that were entered into the Lottery. 7 states in total to show the military connection, with more than 1,000 applicants in total for grades K-5.

Mrs. Rhodes and the special "Lottery Clickers" went through the process of running the lottery. We ran lotteries from Kindergarten through fifth grade and verified each of the accounts/applications that were submitted. 

Once the verification process was complete and we certified the lotteries, Dr. Ivey went over the enrollment process and reminded all applicants of the timeline.
