The regulations must establish a lottery for admission to each charter school in the county. If a charter school does not have a preference for at-risk pupils, the lottery must, to the extent authorized by federal law, be a weighted lottery.
(b) Allow the board of trustees of the school district to provide input regarding the enrollment calendar, processes for enrolling pupils and lotteries established pursuant to paragraph (a).
