Santosuosso asks about waitlist rollover to next year
Santosuosso asks how waitlists will roll into next year's applications. Liss explains program-specific waitlists remain open year-round, and children eligible for 2K this year will be eligible for 3K next year.
You mentioned that there was a wait list, I believe.
And so how are you going to roll the wait list into next year's applications?
What's the plan there?
So families who applied to 2K were added to the wait list under a few different circumstances.
And they are program-specific wait lists similar to 3K and pre-K.
So if you're a family who applied to 2K and you got your fourth choice on your application, you were automatically placed on the wait list for your first, second, and third choices.
If you applied to 2K and you did not get an offer at all, unfortunately, you were automatically placed on the wait list for every program you applied to.
And additionally, families who've subsequently sort of expressed interest in 2K can do so by adding themselves to program wait lists.
Those wait lists will remain open year round.
So as a program has a vacancy, they go to that wait list and they can call through families in the order they are on the wait list to offer them a spot on the spot.
For next year, the children who were eligible for 2K this year will all be eligible for 3K next year.
And 3K as a full universal program, we can accommodate all.
children who apply.
So all of those families will be able to get a 3K seat next year.
Okay.
