No Child Left Behind
School choice and open enrollment, AYP 2004-2005
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 2 or 3 school improvement status, the district
will provide transportation to two other schools. Parents
must apply for transfers by August 26th, 2005.
Applications are
available at your school, at the district offices (4600
DeBarr) and online. Some special
programs offered at Title I schools may not be available
at other schools. The table below outlines choices available.
 For
more information about the School Choice program, check our Frequently
Asked Questions page.
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 have gone 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.
