Letters to some 80,000 8th-graders awaiting news of their high school acceptances will be sent out beginning today, according to Chancellor Klein. Apparently no students were matched to any of the 14 high schools slated for closure.

Here's the statement by the chancellor:

 

"Beginning tonight and continuing through the weekend, we will be sending out high school acceptance letters to students' homes. We anticipate that by mid-week all students will have received their letters.

"No students were initially matched to schools that were slated for phase-out. Depending on the outcome of the appeal of the judge's decision, those schools might accept new students. As a result, students who applied to those schools will also receive a letter stating that, should the schools remain open, they may select one of them."

In a separate statement, the Department of Education's corporate counsel announced he would appeal the judge's ruling.
