Frequently Asked Questions
About Overflows
How do I register for a regular program school with an overflow?
New students must register for their designated regular program school, even if it is in overflow. Once the registration has been received, the school will determine if space is available. If the student cannot be accommodated at their designated school, their information is transferred to the overflow school, and the student will be contacted by their new school. The student will be added to the call-back list based on priority.
If space becomes available during the school year, that space will be offered to students on the call-back list currently attending the designated overflow school. Students will be removed from the call-back list if they move out of the school boundary or transfer from their school.
Registration
Will I be included in the next school lottery if I am overflowed?
Lotteries are held mid-February each year. Regular program schools will use their callback list, which is prioritized based on the draw order established through the lottery process. Students who registered mid-year before a lottery was held will be included in the lottery if they remain at their overflow school and stay in the community. Students who register after the lottery are added to the bottom of the callback list in the appropriate priority level.
Alternative program schools are not overflowed
Lottery Process
Is transportation provided to overflow schools?
Transportation services have a set fee for the school year. Students are eligible for transportation to their designated school or overflow school if they live beyond the walk zone. Overflowed students will receive transportation to and from their overflow school but must be registered for transportation through MyCBE.
