Applications Received by May 1- All applications submitted by May 1 will have equal priority (as opposed to first-come, first served). If the requests exceed the open slots, a random lottery selection will be used to determine which requests are granted.
- Applications will be reviewed by evaluating the capacity at the requested grade level, based on current enrollment as of May 1, as well as other relevant factors. At a given grade level, capacity is defined as the number of students that can enter that grade, leave reasonable room for students to move into the community during the year, and still remain below the maximum class size established in Policy D 6 (Class Size). The composition and needs of a grade level or individual class may also be considered in determining the capacity of that grade or class.
- Denied applications may, upon parent/guardian request, be held until the week before school starts for reconsideration.
May 2 - August 15 (no applications submitted after August 15 will be considered):- Applications may be responded to immediately if it appears clear that such a response will not result in exceeding the capacity of a particular class or school.
OR
- Applications may be held until the week before school starts if it is deemed necessary to ensure that honoring such a request does not exceed the class size capacity within the requested school.
Ongoing Applications
Applications will ONLY be accepted during the current school year for families that move from one BUUSD town or city to another and wish to remain at the originating school. They will be considered on an individual basis with consideration given to space and resources in the requested school and classroom. The Superintendent will make the final decision within a reasonable time frame.
