Interdistrict Public School Choice
APPLICATION DEADLINE:
How will the district select the non-resident choice program students?
Choice program students will be admitted to the Lower Cape May Regional School District through a random, unbiased process. If the number of applications for choice seats exceeds the number of seats available, the choice district will hold a lottery. A number will be assigned to each applicant or applicant family, and those who are not selected will be placed on a waiting list.
