GRADE PLACEMENT AND ELIGIBILITY FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION OF STUDENTS LEAVING A CHARTER SCHOOL AND SEEKING TO ENROLL IN A DISTRICT SCHOOL

A student may withdraw from a Commonwealth charter school at any time ane enroll in the school district in which said student resides. To maintain enrollment stability, encourage promotion based on academic standards, and discourage social promotion, the school district will consult with the student’s charter school regarding placement and eligibility for graduation and enroll the student at the grade level the school district determines appropriate.

The time of the school year when enrollment is sought shall be a factor in determining the student’s grade level placement. The school district may determine that a student seeking enrollment after the mid-point of the academic year may not be eligible for promotion or graduation in that academic year.
