Common use of Admission Policy Clause in Contracts

Admission Policy. The Academy is nonsectarian in its programs, admission policies, employment practices, and all other operations. As a public charter school we do not charge tuition. Additionally, the Academy does not discriminate against any applicant for admission on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, gender, disability, religion, intellectual or athletic ability, or proficiency in the English language. Enrollment, Over-Enrollment and Student Registration Enrollment will be reviewed and determined annually, with an enrollment cap to be determined by the Board. Registration applications for new students will be accepted during the enrollment season with the likelihood that the majority of students applying for admission will be admitted, provided that this amount is not in excess of the caps provided by Idaho Code for virtual school growth. In the event that projected enrollment demands exceed curriculum level capacity for the next school term, a lottery process will be implemented to fairly allocate class vacancies. Currently enrolled students and their siblings will maintain a preferred status unless they express an interest to withdraw. Re-enrollment forms shall be presented to each registered student in the spring of the current school year. Those discontinuing their studies shall not have a reserved position in the next curriculum level. The forms for re- enrollment must be signed and returned in compliance with the process and procedure that has been established by the school’s administration, with consideration and approval by the Board. Failure to respond in the time provided shall constitute a waiver of any interest in application or enrollment renewal for the following term. Lottery IDVA will conduct a lottery according to the requirements as set out in 33-5205, Idaho Code, as well as any rule adopted by the State Board of Education or State Charter Commission that is applicable to student lotteries held by public charter schools.
