Press Release- HOLA ANNOUNCES ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER PREFERENCE IN LOTTERY AND AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS

HoLa Dual Language School Classroom
The following is the official press release of the 2018 HoLa Dual Language Lottery. Of special note is the fact that HoLa continues to be a leader in both the City of Hoboken as well as across the State of New Jersey in terms of incorporating approved preferences for both ELL students (English Language Learners) as well as low-income students. This year the preference has been increased from 2 to 1 to 3 to 1. While these preferences do not assure enrollment, they increase the probabilities of being selected in the lottery substantially for ELL and low-income students. HoLa is the first pubic charter school in NJ to offer ELL and low-income preference in its lottery.
