(a) If seats remain available in a choice district after exhausting the list of applicants who meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a), including those on any waiting list that has been established through the application process, then the choice district may elect to fill the seats with public school students who do not meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a), and with non-public school students.

(b) Choice districts may accept applications from public school students who do not meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a) and/or non-public school students up until the deadline set by the Commissioner.

(c) Upon the receipt of an application from a public school student who does not meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a) or a non-public school student, the choice district shall send a letter to the parent of the student including the following information:

1. Whether the choice district will consider public school students who do not meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a) and non-public school students for admission to the district. If the choice district has not yet decided, inform the parents of when the decision is expected to be made;

2. That public school students who do not meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a) and non-public school students will not be considered for admission until the choice district has conducted the application cycle and has exhausted its waiting list of students who meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a) for the grade level to which they have applied;

3. That the choice district may need to conduct a lottery to select the students to be offered admission to the choice district depending on the seats available and the number of applications received from public school students who do not meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a) and/or non-public school students; and

4. That the parents of those public school students who do not meet the requirements of 6A:12-2.2(a) and non-public school students will be fully informed of the lottery process in the event that a lottery is required, the date it will be held, and what number has been assigned to the applicant.
