OUR STORY


We wish the story was a bit more exciting, but it's actually pretty simple. Our Founder lived and breathed having to manage a new charter schools first lottery. He was part of a newly formed school Board and as a high-tech entrepreneur everyone looked towards him to go and "figure it out". 

And, due to the reasons that effect nearly every charter school - especially newly authorized charters -  mainly the timing of state funds and little to no existing budget dollars the school couldn't afford an electronic system and ended up running a manual lottery and pulling numbered ice cream sticks from pails.

With close to 500 available seats to fill and 1,000's of applications, and ice cream sticks being pulled at a pace of 3 to 4 sticks per minute, hundred's of parent's and children sat in a horribly hot auditorium for over four hours.

Having to watch and participate in this process was terrible.

Many parents were in attendance with their children and they had to endure a painstaking process of ice cream sticks being drawn, numbers being called out, and a flurry of activity of multiple support people typing names into spreadsheets to keep the newly created lists in order...all one-by-one. 

The lessons learned from this experience were several.

First was , that inviting parents to take part in a "high-anxiety", nail biting and very long meeting in a hot room with no refreshments, was not a good way to introduce ourselves to the community. It really can have an adverse effect on your enrollment.

The next lesson is that the post lottery wait-list management is critical to realizing full enrollment. It's not easy, and there are a lot of moving pieces to track. Missteps will happen! and they can have dire financial and reputation consequences on a school. 

Our Founder knew that there had to be a better way, and that's exactly what we've done and it's also a new and better way. 


The company name is Integrity6 and our focus is ensuring the success of charter schools.
