We currently are not in minneapolis but wish we were. Long story short is we planned to be in Mpls but our house hasn't sold yet. We have a child going into Kindergarten in the fall and my understanding is that if you are not a part of the choice lottery, you get whatever is left over for schools in the fall and your child is there for their time in elementary school. My question is, can you participate in the school choice in January if you know you will be there for the following school year or is it based on residence? Is there a way around this? Ultimately, I would love to have my child go to Whittier but without participating in the lottery this seems like a slim chance. Anyone know anything about this?

Good question. I would call - they will let you know. We moved last summer and I wasnt aware of the January deadline. Ends up they could have gotten into the school I wanted because there was some space even though it appeared full as spaces opened up over the summer. So even if you dont make the January deadline and are told there are no spaces - make certain you go on the wait list.
