Committee reviews proposed 'choice schools' for 2627; forwards designations to board
Summary
Attorney Morris presented a packet identifying schools proposed for designation as choice schools for the 2627 school year (highlighted in yellow in the packet); the committee voted to forward the designations to the full board and was informed the lottery and transfer schedule would be included in the board packet for information.
The policy committee reviewed a list of schools recommended for designation as "choice schools" for the 2627 school year and voted to forward the recommendation to the full board.
Attorney Morris said the packet highlights in yellow the schools staff proposes to designate as choice schools under policy 4-13; those highlighted schools were identified because they are operating below the capacity threshold described in the policy. He noted one school—Benton Heights Elementary School of the Arts—was below the threshold but is not a choice school because it is a lottery school and operates as a special program filled by lottery.
Committee members expressed support for Union County schools, and an unidentified member moved and seconded to forward the choice‑school designations to the board. The committee approved the motion by voice vote. Morris said staff would include the lottery and transfer schedule in the December board packet for information.
Next steps: the full board will consider formally designating choice schools at its December meeting; the committee packet will include lottery and transfer schedule details for information only.
