Enrollment
Intra-District Choice/Open Enrollment
Parents who want their student to attend a school other than the designated neighborhood school to which the student is assigned may apply for entry into another school under District 6’s Open Enrollment policy JFBA (Intra-District Choice/Open Enrollment). In implementing the open enrollment program, the district is not required to:
-
Make alterations in the structure of a requested school or make alterations to the arrangement or function of rooms within a requested school.
-
Establish and offer any particular program in a school if such program is not offered currently in such school.
-
Alter or waive any established eligibility criteria for participation in a particular program including age requirements, course prerequisites, and required levels of performance.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this policy, a student may be assigned outside the attendance area by mutual agreement of the principals in the special interest of the student and/or school.
Concurrent Enrollment
"Concurrent enrollment" means the simultaneous enrollment of a qualified student in a district high school and in one or more postsecondary courses at an institution of higher education. Concurrent enrollment does not include a student's simultaneous enrollment in: a district high school and in one or more secondary career and technical education courses, advanced placement courses, or international baccalaureate courses; an early college course and a postsecondary course; a p-tech school and a postsecondary course; or a district high school and a postsecondary course that does not fall within the definition of concurrent enrollment.
