Hundreds of families who received their student’s school choice placement on Monday might have received inaccurate information about that student’s status because of a “human IT error.”
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.caused the results of the annual lottery process to be published and delivered to families across the district before a final audit of the results was completed.
“School choice lottery results are typically released in mid-April,” district spokesperson Sonya Duke-Bolden said in a statement to News4JAX Thursday. “This year, families were able to view their lottery results prematurely before notifications were sent electronically. School Choice is working to resolve the situation, and updated notifications will be sent on or before April 15. Keep in mind that we are still very early in the lottery process.
