What are the timelines for the 2010–11 school year?
The district of residence with schools on the Open Enrollment list must notify parents or guardians of the option to transfer to a school with a higher API on the first day of instruction, or if the district has not been notified of whether its schools are on the list, the notification shall be provided no later than September 15. For schools on the 2011–12 Open Enrollment list, districts must notify parents of their option to transfer in time for parents to submit an application by January 1, 2011. The school district of enrollment may waive this deadline. Within 60 calendar days of receiving an application from a student seeking to transfer pursuant to the Open Enrollment Act, a school district of enrollment shall notify the applicant and the school district of residence in writing whether the application has been accepted or rejected.
