**The Emily Lembeck Early Learning Center has a set number of seats.  If more children register than seats available, a lottery will occur. The lotter will occur eletronically and will be overseen by Central Office.  The following weights will apply to the lottery and are cumulative. For example, if you are a resident and employee you will have two opportunities to qualify for a seat.  

1) All Marietta City Residents will have their name in the lottery once.

2) All Marietta City Employees will have their name in the lottery once.

3) All Marietta City Residents who live in a zoned elementary school area whose 3rd grade reading scores are below 50% will have their name in the lottery once.
