The District agrees to consider nonresident students residing in the same intermediate school district or a contiguous school district located in another intermediate school district for admission under the District’s Schools of Choice Program.

The District's regular enrollment procedure is to be followed when enrolling a schools of choice student.

The District shall not discriminate against any students with disabilities (IDEA or 504). The District shall be required to provide any services or adapt any facilities for a student with disabilities in accordance with his/her IEP or 504 plan.

Enrollment in a program or school shall be subject to an agreement that transportation of the schools of choice student to the school or to a scheduled in-District bus stop is provided for by the student, his/her parents, or the constituent district. Exceptions to this requirement may need to be made for students with disabilities.

Participation in interscholastic athletics must comply with pertinent regulations of the Michigan High School Athletic Association and any relevant league standards regarding eligibility of transfer students for participation in interscholastic athletics.

The appropriate principal shall determine the awarding of transfer academic credit, academic assignment, or placement based upon completion of courses or grades in the student's home school.

Upon notification of acceptance for enrollment, parents are to furnish a written statement to the principal authorizing release of all records of the nonresident student from his/her home district.

When a resident student is accepted for enrollment in a constituent-district's Schools of Choice program, the procedure described in AG 5130 - Withdrawal/Transfer from School is to be followed.

If, during the school year, a resident student wishes to transfer back to his/her home school, the student may do so. If the student has a record of academic difficulty, the principal may wish to assess the student's current level of performance using the assessment AG 5463 as appropriate to the situation.

The Superintendent must provide notice to the general public that applications will be taken from nonresidents residing in the same intermediate school district. The public notice shall identify an application period of at least fifteen (15) days and the place and manner for submitting applications.

Applications will be accepted until the end of the first week of school.

Not later than the end of the first week of school, the District shall notify the parent or legal guardian of each applicant whether or not the applicant may enroll in the District.
