Summary:
|
This item is a recommendation for a review of the priority enrollment currently in Administrative Regulation 5116.1,
Intradistrict Open Enrollment. Our current priority order for transfers is:
1. First Priority: Intradistrict Transfer Requests from siblings of students currently enrolled in school of request.
2. Second Priority: Students whose parent/guardian is employed by Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Priority criteria will only apply for the duration of the parent/guardian's employment by Mt. Diablo Unified School District.
3. Third Priority: Students residing in a neighborhood where attendance has been established by agreement (such as Monte Gardens, Crystyl Ranch).
4. Fourth Priority: All students who are residents of the district not described above (choice).
This recommendation is to change the priority order to:
1. Siblings
2. Employees
3. Students residing in a neighborhood where attendance has been established by agreement (such as Monte Gardens and Crystyl Ranch)
4. Cohorts moving from one level to another
5. Academic Programs
6. Choice
All of these are based on space availability and only resident status is guaranteed.
Siblings: Intradistrict Transfer Requests from siblings of students currently enrolled in school of request. Siblings must share a year at the same school.
Employees: Employees are currently defined in board policy as follows: Students whose parent/guardian is employed by Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Priority criteria will only apply for the duration of the parent/guardian's employment by Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Proposal would be employees be defined as anyone with an assignment of 10 hours per week or more.
Cohort: A cohort is defined as a group of students moving from one level to another. For example, Riverview to Mt. Diablo High, Valley View to College Park, El Dorado to Concord High, and Foothill to Northgate. It also includes the various feeder patterns traveling from elementary school to middle schools.
Academic Programs: Academic Program Pathways are currently in development, but include a continuation of a specialized program such as International Baccalaureate or Dual Immersion.
Space available will be determined by current enrollment and will be reviewed annually. A district wide facility plan will assist in determining the capped number. The goal is to enter into a cohort (resident, cohort only, program) in Elementary school and to stay K-12.
Metrics: The following metrics will be used to analyze and determine effectiveness of this pilot: Stability of Enrollment at each campus, Number of Transfer requests, Students staying in cohort, Number of denials of transfers, location of denials, and other metrics that are deemed significant.
The goal of the district is to "right size" schools and to aim for a more uniform enrollment. The goal also is to keep students together in order to support their educational program.
Magnets: Current magnets may or may not have a complete K-12 feeder pattern. We currently have IB 6-12, Monte Gardens/Sequoia to Sequoia Middle K-8.
Length of Pilot: This will be a multi-year pilot with annual information/metrics brought forward to the board.
