5120 - ASSIGNMENT WITHIN DISTRICT
The Board of Education directs that the assignment of students to schools within this District be consistent with the best interests of students and the best use of the resources of this District.
The Board shall determine periodically the school attendance areas of the District and shall expect the students within each area to attend the school so designated.
The Superintendent shall periodically review existing attendance areas and recommend to the Board such changes as may be justified by:
| A. | considerations of safe student transportation and travel; | |
| B. | convenience of access to schools; | |
| C. | financial and administrative efficiency; | |
| D. | a wholesome and educationally sound balance of student populations; | |
| E. | minimizing the splitting of subdivisions; | |
| F. | minimizing the number of schools a student attends in his/her school career. |
No assignment to schools or attendance schedules shall discriminate against students on the basis of gender, race, religion, disability, or national origin.
The Superintendent may assign a student to a school other than that designated by the attendance area when such exception is justified by circumstances and is in the best interest of the student.
Wherever possible and advisable in the interests of the students, siblings shall be assigned to the same building.
The principal shall assign students in his/her school to appropriate grades, classes, or groups. This action shall be based on consideration of the needs of the student as well as the administration of the school.
Employees of this District (resident and non-resident: pursuant to Board Policy 5111-N.) may choose to enroll their own children in the school in which they are assigned, on a space available basis as determined by the Superintendent and/or designee. The availability of space will be determined by May 1st of the school year immediately prior to the school year for which the request is made. This option is available for contract employees who work a minimum of 65% of their scheduled time in the requested building. Once enrolled, these students will follow the same building sequence as the majority of the students in her/her grade level. This option may be exercised once during each child's school career. The request to do so should be made by May 1st prior to the start of the subsequent school year.
