(Yours wasn't the only application that went awry in the mail...) If you got contact info for the person you spoke with at OSEPO, might be worth another call.helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751154780579012177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856143224099234680.post-91920641768861542122008-06-09T10:54:00.000-04:002008-06-09T10:54:00.000-04:00The information from maruG made me worry about my ...The information from maruG made me worry about my application.

This past Saturday morning I received a phone call from the DOE, telling me that my application had not been received. After I calmed down, I learned that I was not alone, so I suspect that many more will be receiving phone calls as the DOE tries to process all the applicants. My preferences were taken again by phone by a very polite employeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856143224099234680.post-52991590635338929752008-06-08T19:03:00.000-04:002008-06-08T19:03:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bronx_shrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397999597969141353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856143224099234680.post-91662470911944528922008-06-08T18:55:00.000-04:002008-06-08T18:55:00.000-04:00I received the following email from the DOE roughl...I received the following email from the DOE roughly 2 weeks after my appeal:<BR/><BR/>Dear Parent, <BR/><BR/>We understand how important pre-Kindergarten is to you. It is important to us too. That is why we have been taking the time to carefully consider every request we have received to verify claims and make adjustments where they are warranted.
