Assignment Fact Sheet for Schools Converted to Multi-Track Year-Round for 2007-08

  1. Parents will have the opportunity to have input in track assignment.
  2. Siblings will be given priority for placement on the same track in both elementary and middle school (if both are year-round).
  3. Schools need to keep the classes as balanced as possible so no preference will be given to a particular geographic area for track placement.
  4. All students (K-5) who attend a year-round school as application students (choice) and return to their year-round base school will be given priority for placement on the same track they have been following.
  5. Students currently attending a year-round school as an application (choice) student, whose base school has been changed to a multi-track year-round calendar school for 2007-08, will:
    • Follow the current practice when reassigning students from an existing school to another existing school
    • As rising 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th graders have the option to remain at the current year-round application school, without transportation
    • As rising 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders will return to their base school for 2007-08.
  6. Children of teachers in all year-round schools will be guaranteed placement on the same track as their parent.
  7. Children of staff other than teachers will have a high priority for placement on the same track as the parent.
  8. If a teacher is on a traditional calendar and the child is at a converted school, the child will have priority for a traditional calendar seat and/or priority for track assignment if his choice is to stay at the base school.
  9. A student in a year-round elementary school would be given priority over someone in a traditional calendar elementary school in the application process to attend a year-round middle school. (The priority would fall just below the priority already granted for those with siblings on the year-round calendar.)
