Admission Procedures and Over-Enrollment Provision Sample Clauses

Admission Procedures and Over-Enrollment Provision. Monticello is nonsectarian in its programs, admission policies, employment practices, and all other operations. As a public charter school we do not charge tuition for services that are reimbursed by the state. A tuition fee will apply for students enrolled in preschool and full-day kindergarten programs not supported by state funds (if they are offered). Monticello 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.

Applications will be drawn for placement using the Equitable Selection Process outlined in Subsection 203.09 of the Administrative Rules Governing Charter Schools. Those on the final selection lists may be placed in the school any time during the year when an opening occurs. Available positions will be filled from the waiting lists established from the initial lottery. Once on the final selection list, s...
