No Child Left Behind

Public school choice for 2009-10

« 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 14, 2009.

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.
