The District offers Public School Choice (PSC) to parents of all students
enrolled in a Program Improvement (PI) school and Schools-At-Risk for PI.
As required by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the California Department of
Education annually identifies Title I schools in need of academic improvement, sometimes
known as PI schools. A Title I school is identified as a PI school if it fails to meet adequate
yearly progress (AYP) for two consecutive
years, based on annual academic testing.
Students enrolled in a PI school or School-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 2008.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.
- Public School Choice (PSC) gives parents whose children attend PI schools and
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 PSC program.
- Priority for PSC applications must be given to the "lowest achieving children
from low income families."
Specially Funded Programs Branch provides the Non-PI schools to parents for consideration
of PSC transfer. Transportation information is not available at this time.
