Common Questions WhatisaCommunity A Community School District (I-VIII) is an area of the District School? city with clearly def1.ned boundaries. Each district is further divided into smaller areas called geocodes. Your address within a specific geocode determines your Com­ munity District School. Residents of a particular community school district are entitled to attend their geocoded schools at the elementary and middle school levels. In most cases, the number of high school students in a district exceeds the number of seats available in the district. Students names are picked at random from among all students re­ questing assignment to the Community District High School until no more seats are available in the school. Of course, desegregation goals apply.

WhatisaMagnetSchool? A Magnet School is a school offering a distinctive program of instruction that may serve the needs and interests of students from all areas of the city. District IX is the city-wide school district which includes all the magnet programs or components which also are open to students on a city-wide basis. Assignments to magnet schools and programs are made on the basis of student preference, desegregation goals and seat availability. For information regarding Magnet Vocational/Occupational Programs, contact the Office of Career and Occupational Education, 726-6456. ·

3 Currently, the Boston Public Schools are under WHY ARE STUDENT orders from the Federal District Court to de­ ASSIGNMENTS NECESSARY? segregate all its schools, at all grade levels, and in all programs to comply with Federal laws and regulations. The overall purpose of the Court Orders is to insure the Consitituional guarantee of equal educational opportunity to every student.

Basically, you may choose between your geocoded MAY I CHOOSE WHERE Community District School and a Magnet School or MY CHILD GOES TO Program. The Student Application Form indicates SCHOOL. the range of choices you have in selecting a school.

The process for assignment varies at different WILL MY CHILD GET school levels and under different circumstances. THE SCHOOL I SELECT? Consult the general outline below to learn how the assignment process works.

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING GENERAL INFORMATION DOES NOT APPLY TO STUDENTS IN SPECIAL PROGRAMS, SUCH AS BILINGUAL EDUCATION OR SPECIAL NEEDS (SUBSTANTIALLY SEPARATE) . September Grade

IF A STUDENT REQUESTS The student will be assigned to the COMMUNITY DISTRICT geocoded Community District School if: ELEMENTARY OR MIDDLE - the Community District School is one of. K SCHOOL. • . • the choices marked on the application 1 form. - no prior choice could be granted for a 2 Magnet School. 3 IF A STUDENT REQUESTS In many instances there are more students A MAGNET ELEMENTARY OR requesting assignment to a particular 4 MIDDLE SCHOOL . school than there are available seats. In such cases, since assignments to 5 magnet programs are not guaranteed, the names of all students re­ 6 questing the same assignment form the basis of a computerized drawing for seats in the magnet schools. Those students whose names are 7 drawn will be assigned to the reques.ted magnet school. Those students who do not receive their magnet school choices will be assigned to 8 their geocoded Community District Schools.

IF A STUDENT REQUESTS In most cases, the student will be PRESENT SCHOOL . . . assigned to the present school. SOME EXCEPTIONS: - A child entering grade 1 cannot be guaranteed a seat in his present school if the present kindergarten is outside the student's district or geocode. - grade 6 is the entry grade for middle school; you must apply for a new school unless you attend the McKay School.

- a child cannot be assigned to the present school if the qeocoded area for that school has been changed or, if the child has moved, or, of course, if the school has been closed.

' 4 Students' names are picked at random from among IF A STUDENT REQUESTS all students requesting that same assignment COMMUNITY DISTRICT 9 until no more seats are available. Of course, HIGH SCHOOL • • . 10 segregation goals apply. 11 THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF ASSIGNMENT TO THE GEOCODED COMMUNITY DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL. Generally, there are more high school students in each 12 ' district than the high school building can serve. If a student cannot be assigned to the requested Community District School, he will be assigned instead to one of the high schools in District IX according to desegregation goals and seat availability.

Students' names are picked at random from among IF A STUDENT REQUESTS ~all students requesting that same assignment until A MAGNET HIGH SCHOOL no more seats are available. Of course, desegre­ OR MAGNET PROGRAM . • • gation goals apply. If a student cannot be assigned to the requested Magnet High School or program, he will be assigned instead to another high school. Aqain, the determining factors are desegregation goals and seat availability.

In most cases, the student will be assigned IF A STUDENT REQUESTS to the present school. PRESENT SCHOOL • • • EXCEPTION: Grade 9 is the entry level for high school; if the student is in the 8th grade he must apply for a 'new school unless he presently attends , , or Umana Harbor School.

Parents may make up to three choices, as those choi7es apply, in order of preference from among the follow1ng: \iHAT ARE MY CHOICES? the geocode Community District School, a Magnet School, or some other special program (for example: bilingual education, advanced work, extended day kindergartens, city-wide magnet vocational high school programs, etc.).

If two or more children from the same family WILL MY CHILDREN BE request a Community District elementary or ASSIGNED TO THE SAME middle school, they shall be assigned to the SCHOOL? same school, provided that: 1. none of the children require assignment to a specialized program; 2. both (or all) of the children are in the same grade level--kindergarten, elementary or middle school level; 3. both (or all) of the children reside at the same address. For magnet schools and for high schools, there is a possibility that both (or all) of the children will not be assigned to the school of first preference. The reason is that students are assigned by computerized random selection on the basis of seat availability and desegregation goals. If one of your children is assigned to a Magnet School or Community strict High School and one is not, you may apply for a sibling transfer. bling transfers are determined by desegregation goals and seat avail­ ability.
