No Child Left Behind
Public school choice, AYP 2007-08
« Return to AYP home
Our district has an open enrollment policy, allowing students to attend
schools outside their neighborhood if space is available
and if parents provide transportation. (Open enrollment not available at schools during the first year of a boundary change.) For Title I schools in Level 3 or higher school improvement status, the district will provide transportation to other schools. Parents must apply for transfers by August 15, 2008.
Applications are
available at your school, at the district offices and online at the link below. Some special
programs offered at Title I schools may not be available
at other schools. The table below outlines choices available.
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.
