hmmm.. what do we do now?

So we were among the unlucky 20% who did not get admission to Leitch.
20% as 119 kids of 150 are confirmed.

We are 143 on the list.
Here are the options:
- try open enrollment in Weibel
- private school
- move.... but market really sucks to sell, but is great to buy. If I had the downpayment, I might rent out the current house.

Think and take action.. or let go..

Form submitted

4th March 2009 was the day to submit forms. I reached James Leitch school at 7.45 am. This is when the school opens. Figured out it will be a large crowd as street parking looked full.

On reaching there one had to take a number. I was number 85. folks had been waiting for a long time.
My turn came around 10.45. Nothing much in terms of giving the application.

Here are some numbers and thoughts:
- there were only 2 ladies taking applications. The time it took to process each persons application seemed to vary. Sometimes 5 mins - sometimes 15 mins. There was a slow period initially - but later (around 10 am) things started speeding up.
- I guess there are 200 seats for KG. for 2009-2010,
- 80 spots for siblings were submitted.
- a total of 250 applications packets were given
- at 10.45, the number of people to fill applications was 150 (i.e. I was 85)

All the best - lottery results to be announced on Friday, March 6
