Policies & Regulations - Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice
1. One application per student, per year, may be submitted to one school district.  If we are unable to offer placement, we will contact you regarding a second choice and third choice district, and we will forward your application to that district.  If you apply to more than one district, you may be disqualified for all districts that year.
2. If more applications are received in a district than openings are available, there will be a random lottery drawing for all applications received prior to the deadline.  If your application is not selected by your first choice district, they will automatically forward your application to your second and/or third choice districts.
3. Effective August 1, 2019, new  Michigan High School Athletic Association requirements take effect. These can be viewed at http://www.rockfordschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/new-sport-transfer.pdf.
4. Accepted students must agree to comply with choice district policies.
5. Transportation is not provided for Schools of Choice students.  Parents must provide their own transportation to and from school for children accepted for enrollment through the Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice Plan.
6. After a student is accepted, the student will be allowed continuous enrollment in that district until graduation or until you withdraw from that district, at which time you may return to your resident district.
7. Waiting lists will be created at choice districts after the lottery/random draw and parents will be notified if spaces become available.
8. Siblings of current Schools of Choice students will be assigned to open spots before a random draw begins. Siblings include students who reside in the same household.
9. The only limit on movement between school districts for an applicant to the Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice Plan is the space available in the desired district and/or the Choice student's suspension or expulsion record.
