How are private school children identified as residing in a participating public school attendance area if the district is operating under an open enrollment, desegregation, or magnet plan?
If a district is unable to collect reliable data on non-public school children residing in public school attendance areas, a district may identify a public school as eligible solely on the basis of public school enrollment. If the district chooses to identify eligible schools in this way, the district must, in consultation with private school officials, determine an equitable way to identify eligible private school children. For example, the district may assign a private school child to the public school attendance area in which the child resides or to the public school that the child would have attended if not enrolled in a private school.
