Can a school district adopt specific, written standards for acceptance and rejection of applications of students seeking to enroll?
Yes. LEAs may adopt standards, and may include consideration of the capacity of a program, class, grade level, school building, or adverse financial impact. (Subject to subdivision (b), and except as necessary in accordance with EC Section 48355), the standards (EC Section 48356) shall not include consideration of a pupil’s previous academic achievement, physical condition, proficiency in the English language, family income, or any of the individual characteristics set forth in EC Section 200.
