Anyone who has been through the public high school admissions process knows how difficult it is. But this new wrinkle takes the cake. On Wednesday 8th graders were supposed to find out where they will be going next year. But that didn’t happen. See this excerpt from the New York Times.

Eighth-grade students will indeed have to wait at least one more day before they can find out where they will attend high school next fall.

Admissions letters were expected to be handed out to students on Wednesday, but the Department of Education is under a court order not to distribute the decisions. The order stems from a pending lawsuit from the United Federation of Teachers and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People over plans to close several high schools in the city, and a justice in State Supreme Court in Manhattan ruled this month that the city should not make the matches.
