Who can attend the Green Tech High Charter School?
Similar to magnet schools, charter schools are public schools chosen by parents for their children. Rather than having the school district dictate which school students must attend by virtue simply of where they live, parents can decide if the Green Tech High Charter School best suits the needs of their children, and then enroll their children here. Green Tech will begin the 2008-09 School Year by serving students in the 9th grade and adding a grade each year until serving grades 9-12. Preference is given to students residing in Albany. If there are a larger number of applications to attend than there are available spots, an open and fair lottery will be held to randomly select students. Those students who have applied to attend Green Tech but are not chosen in the lottery will be placed on a waiting list. Once a student is admitted to Green Tech, he can attend the school in subsequent years without having to reapply.
