Do the public school choice options include only schools in the same district, or might they include schools in neighboring school districts?
Options may include a neighboring school district. If a school is identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring, your district must provide all students in the school the option to transfer to another public school that is not in need of improvement, no later than the first day of the school year following identification. However, if all public schools served by the district are in school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring, the district must try to establish a cooperative agreement with other districts to provide students the option to transfer to another public school. In addition, nothing in the No Child Left Behind Act prohibits districts from establishing cooperative agreements, regardless of whether all schools in a particular district are in need of improvement. Public school choice must be provided unless state law prohibits it.
