The Superintendent will consider all applications for School Choice
postmarked not later than the July 1, proceeding the fall semester the
applicant would begin school in the District. The Superintendent shall
notify the parent or guardian and the student's resident district, in
writing, of the Superintendent's decision to accept or reject the
application within 30 days of its receipt of the application.
The District shall advertise in appropriate print and
broadcast media to inform students and parents in adjoining districts
of the range of possible openings available under the School Choice
program. The public pronouncements shall state the application deadline
and the requirements and procedure for participation in the program.
Such pronouncements shall be made in the spring, but in no case later
than June first.
When considering applications, priority will be given to
applications from siblings or stepsiblings residing in the same
residence or household of students already attending the District
through school choice.
The District may reject a nonresident's application for
admission if its acceptance would necessitate the addition of staff or
classrooms, exceed the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or
school building, or cause the District to provide educational services
not currently provided in the affected school. The District shall
reject applications that would cause it to be out of compliance with
applicable laws and regulations regarding desegregation. Letters of
rejection shall state the reason(s) for the rejection.
The Board of Directors reserves the right, after a hearing
before the board, not to allow any person who is currently under
expulsion from another district to enroll in a District school.
Students admitted under this policy shall be entitled to
continued enrollment until they graduate or are no longer eligible for
enrollment in the District's schools.
