Must a school district build new schools, renovate schools or utilize mobile classrooms in order to comply with transfer requests?
A6. The NCLB Act specifically states that school districts cannot use “lack of capacity” to eliminate choice options for parents. School districts must provide parents with options—solutions for “lack of capacity” are not spelled out in the legislation or guidance and must be decided upon locally.
