Common use of Geographic Obligation Clause in Contracts

Geographic Obligation. Schools in District facilities agree to serve a geographic obligation (neighborhood boundary or enrollment zone) if asked to do so by the District. Schools participating in neighborhood boundaries or enrollment zones will operate in a manner consistent with other schools in the zone or boundary and using a shared set of criteria and expectations. The District will make every effort to provide 12 months’ notice to charter schools in District facilities regarding new or changing geographic obligations. Exceptions may exist in situations such as school closures where a shorter timeline may be necessary in order to provide options for impacted families; in such cases, the District shall notify charter schools in District facilities within 30 days of the decision necessitating a new or changing geographic obligation. The District-Charter Collaborative Council will review criteria and expectations for enrollment zone service every third year, using two years of available data, and make a recommendation for any revisions to the Superintendent.
