Public School Choice - Section 1116

PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE - Definition
In the case of a school identified for school improvement, the LEA will, not later than the first day of the school year following such identification, provide all students enrolled in the school with the option to transfer to another public school served by the LEA, which may include a public charter school, that has not been identified for school improvement under this paragraph, unless such an option is prohibited by state law.

GENERAL RULE- In providing students the option to transfer to another public school, the LEA is required to give priority to the lowest-achieving children from low-income families. TRANSFER OPTIONS- Students who use the option to transfer will be enrolled in classes and other activities in the public school to which the students transfer in the same manner as all other children at the public school.
