That
EVERY student enrolled in a Title I school that has been identified
as 'in need of improvement' must have the opportunity to transfer
to another school that has not been identified as needing improvement. |
|
• |
That
only children in Title I schools are eligible to transfer to
another public school under NCLB if their current school fails
to meet the state AYP requirements for two consecutive years
(see
AYP Action Brief). |
|
• |
A
school district may not use lack of capacity to deny students
the option to transfer, but may take capacity into consideration
in deciding which individual schools to make available for choice.
If the district does not have sufficient capacity in its schools
that are not identified for improvement (or persistently dangerous)
to accommodate the demand for transfers, the district must create
additional capacity or provide choice of other schools. |
|
• |
NCLB
supercedes all local laws and school district policies that
may limit school choice and are inconsistent with requirements
to provide school choice. |
|
• |
Each
school district makes the final decision on which schools students
who wish to transfer attend. |
|
• |
State
or local school district class size policies cannot be used
to prohibit parental choices. |
