No Child Left Behind
School choice and open enrollment, 2003-2004
Our district has an open enrollment policy, allowing students to attend
schools outside their neighborhood if space is available
and if parents provide transportation. For Title I schools
in Level II school improvement status, the district will
provide transportation to two other schools. Parents must
apply for transfers by August 20, 2004.
Some
special programs offered at Title I schools may not be
available at other schools. The table below outlines choices
available.
School Choice letter to parents and application 
How will this impact "receiving schools?"
The Anchorage School District has a 30-year history of promoting
open enrollment and school choice within its schools
and programs. The transfer policy provided for in NCLB
is an extension of that philosophy. Transfers that occurred
between Mountain View Elementary and Inlet View and Chester
Valley in
2003-2004 went smoothly and provided great opportunities
for cooperation between parents, staff and students.
Receiving schools will be staffed to accommodate students transferring. Please
talk with your child ’s
principal if you have questions or concerns.
