Public School Choice (PSC)
|
|
Title I schools that have not made adequate yearly progress in increasing
student academic achievement for two consecutive years (Level 1) or more are
to notify parents of the opportunity to attend another school that is not in
need of improvement.
Public school choice is a critical component of (NCLB because it offers a
student enrolled in a Title I school that is in need of improvement an
opportunity to attend another school, even as his or her original school is
undergoing improvement. The process of turning around a low-performing
school typically takes time, and during that time that school’s students are
at risk of falling further behind if they do not have additional options.
Together, the school improvement activities undertaken under Title I and
public school choice can provide all students in low-performing Title I
schools the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. When all
students – including students with disabilities and English language
learners – are provided high-quality educational options, and when parents
receive enough information to make intelligent choices among those options,
public school choice can increase both equity and quality in education. In
addition, expanded parental choice gives schools a greater incentive to
undertake reforms and make the changes that are needed to improve student
learning and reach academic achievement goals.
ALL students who are enrolled in Title I schools are eligible to
transfer to another school if their school has been identified as in: (1)
school improvement; (2) corrective action; or (3) restructuring. (For the
definitions of these terms, please see Appendix A.) The LEA is responsible
for providing or paying all or a portion of the transportation necessary for
students to attend their new schools.
