Parents at 11 of the Cobb County School District’s 113 schools
have received letters informing them of the choice school
options required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Because these 11 schools have not made Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) for two consecutive school years, the District
is required to offer parents a choice of two alternate schools
their children can attend. The “receiver schools” are
determined based on their geographic proximity to the
student’s current school and space availability.
Parents interested in taking the choice
school option must pick up and complete an application from
their child’s current school and schedule a meeting with the
principal by Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2006.
Following approval of the
application by the principal, parents will receive a copy of
an approved choice form, along with registration information
for the receiver schools.
Bus transportation will be provided only
from Title I schools (see list below) beginning Monday, Aug.
28, 2006. If students from Title I schools begin the year at a
receiver school, parents will be asked to provide
transportation for the first two weeks until bus schedules are
set.
For additional information, parents
should contact their child's current school.
NOTE -
Schools in Red Font are closed for choice as of Friday, August
11
