Intradistrict Open Enrollment
The Solana Beach School District has designated attendance areas for each
of its schools. However, an Open
Enrollment Policy is maintained to provide enrollment options that meet
the diverse needs and interests of district
students and their parents. The parent/guardian of each pupil who is a
resident in the district may select the
school the child shall attend, irrespective of the particular locations
of his or her residence within the district.
The District will annually review the enrollment options available to the
pupils within the district and shall strive to
make available enrollment options that meet the diverse needs, potential
and interests of district pupils. Each
year, a letter will be sent to all parents/guardians notifying them of
which schools and programs are available for
open enrollment. Parents/guardians shall be informed annually that certain
schools or grade levels within a
school are currently, or are likely to be, at capacity, and therefore,
those schools or grade levels are unable to
accommodate any new pupils under the open enrollment policy. Final determination
of open enrollment and
student placement will be based upon the capacity of the school, the future
growth within that school’s
attendance area, and possible impact on special education and other programs.
Schools receiving requests for admission shall give priority for attendance
to siblings of pupils already in
attendance in that school and to pupils whose parent or legal guardian
is assigned to that school as his or her
primary place of employment. In cases in which the school receives a request
for admission in excess of the
capacity of the school, selection shall be made through a random, unbiased
selection process. Transportation
will not be provided outside the student’s designated school attendance
area.
Intradistrict transfers shall be granted only on a year-by-year basis.
