Common use of Equitable Selection Process Clause in Contracts

Equitable Selection Process. If the initial capacity of HCCS is insufficient to enroll all prospective students, or if the capacity is insufficient to enroll all prospective students in subsequent school years, then the Governing Board shall determine the students who will be offered admission to HCCS by conducting a lottery. The selection procedure, unless otherwise determined by the Governing Board and then approved by the school’s authorizer, shall be conducted as follows: The name of each prospective student on the proposed attendance list shall be individually affixed to or written on a three by five (3x5) inch index card. The index cards shall be separated by grade. The selection procedure shall be conducted one (1) grade level at a time, with the order of grade levels selected randomly. The index cards containing the names of the prospective students for the grade level being selected shall be placed into a single container. A neutral, third party shall draw the grade level to be completed first and then draw each index card from the container for that grade level, and such person shall write the selection number on each index card as drawn, beginning with the numeral “1” and continuing sequentially thereafter. In addition, after selecting each index card, the name of the person selected will be compared to the proposed attendance list to determine whether any preferences are applicable to such person. If the name of the person selected is a returning student, then the letter “A” shall be written on such index card. If the name of the person selected is the child of a founder or full-time employee, the letter “B” shall be written on such index card. If the name of the person selected is the sibling of another student that has already been selected for admission to the public charter school, the letter “C” shall be written on such index card. If the name of the person selected resides in the primary attendance area of the public charter school, then the letter “D” shall be written on such index card. If the name of the person selected resides outside the primary attendance area of HCCS, then the letter “E” shall be written on such index card. With regard to the sibling preference, if the name of the person selected has a sibling in a higher grade who has already been selected, but the person previously selected did not have the letter “C” written on his or her index card (because a sibling had not been selected for admission prior to the selection of the index card of that person), then the letter “C” shall now be written on that person’s index card at this time. With regard to the founder’s and full-time employee’s preference, a running tally shall be kept during the course of the selection procedure of the number of index cards, in the aggregate, that have been marked with the letter “B”. When the number of index cards marked with the letter “B” equals ten percent (10%) of the proposed capacity of HCCS for the school year at issue, then no additional index cards shall be marked with the letter “B,” even if such person selected would otherwise be eligible for the founder’s and full-time employee’s preference. After all index cards have been selected for each grade, then the index cards shall be sorted for each grade level in accordance with the following procedure. All index cards with the letter “A” shall be sorted first, based on the chronological order of the selection number written on each index card; followed by all index cards with the letter “B,” based on the chronological order of the selection number written on each index card; followed by all index cards with the letter “C,” based on the chronological order of the selection number written on each index card; followed by all index cards with the letter “D,” based on the chronological order of the selection number written on each index card; followed by all index cards with the letter “E,” based on the chronological order of the selection number written on each index card; followed finally, by all index cards containing no letters, based on the chronological order of the selection number written on each index card. After the index cards have been drawn and sorted for all grade levels, the names shall be transferred by grade level, and in such order as preferences apply, to the final selection list. Within sixty days of approval of this charter, the HCCS board of directors will develop and adopt a definition of “Founders”. That definition will include, but not be limited to, those persons:  sitting on the Board of Directors from January 2010 to June 2011and/or  involved in the initial writing of the petition for Heritage Community Charter School and/or  Those individuals who have made a significant contribution to the development and establishment of Heritage Community Charter School as deemed by the Board of Directors.
