YOU BELONG AT BURNS

WELCOME

Thank you for your interest in Burns Science & Technology Charter School! We are excited that you are considering joining the Burns Sci-Tech family.


Enrollment at Burns Sci-Tech is highly sought after, and many grade levels have waiting lists. To ensure a fair, transparent, and impartial admissions process, Burns Sci-Tech utilizes Lotterease, an automated lottery and enrollment management system designed specifically for charter schools.


This page explains the application, lottery, admissions, and enrollment process at Burns Sci-Tech, including how to apply, how students are selected when applications exceed available seats, how admission offers and waiting lists are managed, and the steps families must take to secure their child's enrollment.


We encourage all prospective families to review the information below carefully, paying particular attention to important deadlines and required actions throughout the process.

LOTTERY PREFERENCES

In accordance with our Charter, Burns Sci-Tech gives lottery preferences* to certain students as detailed below:

  1. Students who reside in Oak Hill, Florida. 

  2. Students with a parent or legal guardian who is a member of the Burns Sci Tech Board of Directors. 

  3. Students with a parent or legal guardian who is a full-time member of the Burns Sci-Tech administration, faculty, or staff. 

  4. Students who have a parent or legal guardian who serves on active duty in the U.S. military. 

  5. Students with a sibling** that currently attends Burns Sci-Tech. 

*All lottery preferences will be thoroughly verified. Any inaccurate information will result in removal from the lottery. 


**A sibling refers to a child who shares at least one biological parent, legal guardian, or household with another child already enrolled in the school at least 50% of the time. Sublings include: students who share one or both biological parents, students who have been legally adopted by the same parent or parents, students who become siblings as a result of their parents' marriage or partnership, students who share one biological parent, and students who are placed in the same foster family.
