Transitional Kinder (TK) Dual Language Immersion (DLI) Lottery Enrollment FAQS
For families interested in enrolling their child in the Transitional Kindergarten Dual Language Immersion (TK-DLI) program, a lottery is conducted to allocate the 20 available seats per classroom. In accordance with Education Code §35160.5 (b), school districts are required to implement a Random Enrollment Process (Lottery) to ensure fair and impartial student placement.
The Student Placement Department, in partnership with the Language Development Department, has developed this list of frequently asked questions to help guide you through the TK-DLI program lottery process.
- If I already have a child enrolled in the DLI program at our school of residence, does my incoming child still need to participate in the lottery?
- Would we get automatic enrollment due to having a sibling in the program?
- If my child is not selected for the TK DLI program through the lottery, what alternative program will they be placed in?
- Does the lottery determine the waitlist as well?
- If my child is on the waitlist, how long before I know if they can enroll in DLI?
- Why doesn’t the District open more TK DLI classrooms?
- How can I find out which schools have space available in DLI for the next school year?
- Can I get my child into a DLI program in another school?
