Public School Choice

Public School Choice and Supplemental Educational Services


No Child Left Behind (NCLB) regulations require that school districts offer Public School Choice and Supplemental Educational Services to students enrolled in a Title I school that is targeted for School Improvement when the school has not made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in reading or in mathematics for two or more consecutive years on the state assessment (SOL).

Public School Choice
Parents may request to transfer their children from their current school to a “Choice” school that is not in School Improvement. One Title I school is offering public school choice for 2010 – 2011. Parents of Altavista Elementary School students may request a transfer to Concord Elementary or Brookneal Elementary.

Supplemental Educational Services
Parents may register their children for free after-school tutoring sessions. For 2010 – 2011, letters announcing the availability of tutorial services will be sent to parents of all eligible students, generally those who receive free or reduced-price lunch, who attend Altavista Elementary. The tutors will be employees of private companies approved by the Virginia Department of Education. Depending upon the provider selected, tutorial services may be provided at the student’s school (or home if the tutorial service provides in-home services).
