Explorer lottery date revealed!

Listen up, fellow parents. I found this on the Explorer web site today:

"The admissions lottery for the 2011/12 year will take place Thursday, March 24th in the evening. There will be a live stream video of the lottery on this website. For privacy reasons, lottery results will not be posted. Results of the lottery will be mailed or emailed on Friday, March 25th."

Um? In the evening? What does that even mean?

This is the final school I'm waiting on. Except that on assignment today, I interviewed a science teacher from High Tech High (the school Explorer feeds into). He has two young kids and even though he has priority for the lottery, it took him over a year to get his kids enrolled.

He also said this:

"The odds of getting into Harvard are better than the odds of getting into Explorer."

Good luck everyone!

Well. That was anticlimactic. Not a very cinematic lottery process after all...

And now we wait.
