Open enrollment will have 5 percent cap
Lottery to be held for transfer requests
By Citizen staff
The Elk Grove Unified School District board approved a 5 percent cap on the number of students allowed to transfer from a school attendance area through the 2010-2011 open enrollment process.
This cap is 5 percent of the school’s projected 2010-2011 student enrollment. The school attendance areas affected by the 5 percent cap are Harriet Eddy, Samuel Jackman and James Rutter middle schools. The school board approved the transfer requests from all other schools.
Students who attend Harriet Eddy, Samuel Jackman and James Rutter middle schools will participate in a lottery to determine who will be allowed to transfer to their school of choice.
This random computer-generated lottery will be conducted at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 23 at Monterey Trail High School. A computer will randomly rank order students. Students will be offered open enrollment slots at requested schools based on this rank order.
Students not selected for open enrollment will maintain their rank on a waiting list. Should students selected to attend their school of choice decline to transfer, the slot will be offered to the next student on the ranking list. A waiting list will be maintained until the 2009-2010 school year ends.
