School Admissions Clause Samples
The School Admissions clause outlines the criteria and procedures for enrolling students into a particular educational institution. It typically details eligibility requirements, application processes, deadlines, and any necessary documentation, such as proof of residency or prior academic records. By clearly defining how students are admitted, this clause ensures transparency and fairness in the selection process, helping to prevent disputes and misunderstandings regarding entry into the school.
School Admissions. The School may not limit admission to pupils on the basis of intellectual ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, or athletic ability, nor may it condition admission on criteria or take any action that would violate the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 363A. The charter school shall not distribute any services or goods of value to students, parents, or guardians as an inducement, term, or condition of enrolling a student in a charter school. A charter school shall enroll an eligible pupil who submits a timely application, unless the number of applications exceeds the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or building. In this case, pupils must be accepted by lot. The charter school must develop and publish, including on its Web site, a lottery policy and process that it must use when accepting pupils by lot.
