Student Movement After School Choice Round 1. To accommodate students physically moving into the District after School Choice Round 1, the Network agrees to reserve placeholder slots to provide equitable access for students arriving after SchoolChoice Round 1. Each school will reserve at least 5% of seat offers annually for students who arrive after the conclusion of SchoolChoice Round 1. If a school participates in an enrollment zone or occupies a District facility, the school will reserve placeholder slots at a quantity defined by the District based on regional or neighborhood trends and at a level consistent to access provided by other area schools. For schools reserving seat offers above 5%, these quantities will be determined annually, no later than February 15, through a transparent, data-driven process with the District-Charter Collaborative Council, which will make a recommendation to the Superintendent. The District will be responsible for filling placeholder seats. As an outcome to the lottery, placeholder slots may end up on the accepted student list or on the waitlist. Between the last day of SchoolChoice Round 1 and the last Monday in the month of August, any student who moves into the District shall have the right to request one of the placeholder slots. The Network shall hold placeholder slots until the last Monday in the month of August, at which time it can draw students off its waitlist to fill any remaining slots so that its Schools can reach their targets for enrollment by October Count Date.
