Authorized in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), the District offers NCLB-PSC
to parents of all students enrolled in a Program Improvement (PI) school and Schools-At-Risk for PI.
As required by NCLB, the California Department of
Education has identified Title I schools as PI based on the school not meeting academic targets
known as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for two consecutive years. Students enrolled in a PI school or Schools At-Risk
for PI receive the option to transfer to a non-PI school.
In addition, the California Department of Education also designates Title I Schools
At-Risk of being identified for Program Improvement in the next school year. Schools-At-risk for PI may
or may not be eligible
for the PSC program depending on test results in Spring 2010.The list may change
due to California Department of Education data not being available at Choices brochure print time.
- Title I is the federal government’s compensatory education program authorized
in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
- NCLB-PSC gives parents whose children attend PI schools or
Schools At-Risk for PI, the option to transfer to another Non-PI school. District-paid
transportation is provided to students who have enrolled in the NCLB-PSC program based on District guidelines.
- Priority for PSC applications must be given to the "lowest achieving children
from low income families."
- If your child participates in the NCLB-PSC program, your child will no longer be eligible for free Supplemental Educational Services.
District-Paid transportation is provided for ELEMENTARY (K-5) applicants if they reside outside a two-mile radius or outside the
Magnet School attendance boundary, whichever is further.
The eligibility distance for SECONDARY students (grades 6-12) has been extended to three miles. SECONDARY students will
now be provided with transportation if they reside outside a three-mile radius or outside the school attendance boundary,
whichever is further.
Student Integration Services provides the Non-PI schools to parents for consideration
of PSC transfer. Transportation information is not available at this time.
