to School Policies
The Governing Board desires to provide
options that meet the diverse needs,
potential and interests of district
students and shall annually review
enrollment options. As required by
Assembly Bill 1114, parents or guardians
of each school child who is a resident in
the district may apply to attend any
school in the district, irrespective of
the particular location of his/her
residence within the district provided
that space is available. The school
district shall also retain the authority
to maintain appropriate racial and ethnic
balance among the schools as specified in
the desegregation plan.
The Superintendent or designee shall
determine the capacity of each district
school and establish a lottery for the
admissions of students from the outside a
schools attendance area. Students
transferring into the attendance area
cannot displace students who reside in the
attendance area.
The district will continue to use
existing criteria for specialized schools.
Upon request, the Superintendent or
designee may authorize transportation for
students to and from a designated bus stop
based on demonstrated financial need and
the ability of the district to provide
such transportation. Approval of this
transfer does not guarantee athletic
eligibility at the school of choice.
An enrollment transfer is valid only
through the end of the highest grade
available at the school. However, the
student may be subject to displacement due
to excessive enrollment, since students
who reside in the attendance area cannot
be displaced. The Superintendent or
designee shall prepare administrative
regulations to provide the
parents/guardians of a school-age child
with the opportunity to select the school
they desire their child shall attend
within the district. These regulations
shall include:
a.
Procedures to determine the pupil capacity for each school.
b.
Procedures to assure that no pupil who currently resides in
the attendance area of a school shall
be displaced by pupils transferring
from outside attendance area.
c. A
random selection procedure for schools
that receive requests for admission in
excess of the number of seats
available.
The
regulations shall provide for the
notification of the parents or guardian of
the pupils at the beginning of the first
semester of the regular school term of the
Districts Open Enrollment Policy and also
shall advise the parents or guardians of
all current statutory attendance options
and local attendance options available to
the district. Any complaints regarding the
selection process shall be submitted in
writing to the Director of Student
Services office for final determination.
Intradistrict transfers applications for
the 2001-2002 school year must be
submitted to the school of residence.
Applications are available at each school
and at the Student Services office.
