REGULATION

OPEN  ENROLLMENT

Selection  Process

All applicants will be accepted if there is sufficient capacity.  If there is insufficient capacity, applicants will be selected from the submitted applications for enrollment in a school in accordance with a random selection process as described in Policy JFB.  After the drawing, students will be placed on a waiting list in the order in which they are drawn.  Subsequent applications received after February 15th will be placed on the waiting list in order by date/time of submission.

Procedure

The procedure for selection shall be as follows:

The applicants will be divided by priority categories and have their names placed on separate pieces of paper and the papers placed in a container.  Names will be drawn by priority categories and numbered in the order in which they are drawn.  All applications properly submitted will be drawn and numbered for enrollment consideration.  The applicants whose names are selected in order, up to the capacity limitations established, shall be permitted to enroll in the school.  All others drawn will be placed on a waiting list with priority in accord with the lowest number.  Parents are encouraged to be present at the drawing.

Capacity  in  Special  Programs

Longitudinal analysis of month-to-month enrollment trends are considered when determining capacity in special programs.  Programs that consistently reach capacity with District resident students based on this trend analysis are considered not to have excess capacity and are therefore closed to open enrollment.
