Over-Enrollment Procedures

Vision Charter School has identified the following over-enrollment procedures:

a) Vision Charter School founders’ children will have first preference for admission to the school, with a maximum of 10% of the student population consisting of founders’ children.

b) Five lottery pools and/or waiting lists will be established and prioritized as listed: 1) returning students, 2) children of founder’s, 3) siblings of pupils already attending, 4) students within the primary attendance area, and 5) all other students. Applications will be drawn for placement using the Equitable Selection Process outlined in Subsection 203 of the Administrative Rules Governing Charter Schools. The process will begin with a randomly drawn grade and continue with randomly selected grades. Those on the waiting list may be placed in the school any time during the year when an opening occurs. Available positions will be filled from the waiting list established from the initial lottery.

d) Once on a waiting list, students will remain eligible for placement within the school without repeating the application process. Each year, Vision Charter will contact all waiting list students and request written verification of the continued desire to be on the waiting list. The order of these waiting lists will be revised annually based on the lottery results. Students wishing to be removed from the waiting list must make their request directly to Vision Charter School, preferably in writing.

e) Once the enrollment period is complete and waiting lists have been established through lottery as described above, subsequent applications will be added to the waiting lists on a first come-first served basis.
