Which rules regarding transfer options take precedence if a school in PI is also designated as an Open Enrollment school?
A parent or guardian may use either option in transferring a student from the school. LEAs are responsible for providing proper notice to parents, and guardians, about transfer requirements under both the Open Enrollment Act and PI. In exercising choice under the PI requirements, a student would attend a higher performing school in his district of residence—one not in PI. Transportation services may be provided when using the choice option for PI schools. In exercising choice under Open Enrollment, a parent, or guardian may enroll a student in a school within his or her district of residence or another district, as long as that school has a higher API score. Also, transportation is not statutorily a responsibility of either the district of residence or the district of enrollment.
