Lottery committee proposal would centralize post-draw changes

Bridgeport Public Schools · Aug 24, 2026

Day-to-day

What happened

The Ad Hoc Lottery Committee submitted a proposal for Board consideration that would place post-draw edits to locked lottery records with a designated ombudsperson and remove modification access from other users.

Why it matters to families

Lottery and waitlist procedures affect families seeking placements in district programs and schools; the proposal would change who can alter records after a draw.

The evidence

The official proposal says it is for Board consideration and recommends that only the designated ombudsperson edit locked records after a draw, while schools submit change requests and keep read-only visibility.
