[mummy of 3]

VooVoo:

So for those odd numbers, does 1 more seat go to phase 2b or phase 2c?

Goes to P2B

Yes, interesting to know.

[Scary]

Believe all Bukit Timah schools, except Bukit Timah Prim will need balloting for <1km.

you are right. most of the schools in that area powerrrrrr.

[phtthp]

for P2B, how do they share the pie amongst parent volunteers, grassroot RC leaders ?


example:
Nanyang remaining 55 vacancies left. So P2B given 28 vacancies, whereas P2C given 27 vacancies. But within P2B 28 seats itself, how many given to PV & grassroot RC ?

if say, share equally means 14 reserved for PV and another 14 for RC leaders, then what if there are > 14 PVs, or > 14 RC leaders ? Then ballot for PVs, plus ballot for RCs, is it ?

is that how it works ?

all under the same pool.....determine by distance....

[phtthp]

i see … so means for P2B, once demand exceed > 28 seats available, regardless of Parent volunteers or RC leaders, all dumped into the same common pool, and draw lots /balloting, based on distance.

[phtthp]

who draw lots ? admin staff there in charge draw lots, or computer draw lots randomly, based on a distance algorithm built in ?

[phtthp]

if computer draw lot based on distance algorithm, then will be accurate. The algorithm built in software can compute distance from school to the registering applicant’s house address precisely.


so if got 2 applicants both stay < 1 km, but one stay at 0.5 km vs another staying 0.9 km, then the first applicant will enter the hot, popular school first.

if like that the houses nearest to NYPS worth more money than the next one

but i think within 1km, all are the same, and the balloting is witnessed by independent party as well as all parents whose kids are in the ballot
