What information can the private schools use in admitting or denying admission to students into the Choice program?
The only information private schools can use to determine eligibility for the Choice program is the eligibility criteria on the Choice student application form, which is limited to household income and residency. Information about an applicant that a school may not use in the admission process for the Choice program includes but is not limited to an applicant’s race, ethnic background, religion, prior test scores, grades or membership in the church parish. Choice schools must accept all eligible Choice applications during each open application period the school is participating in for the 2006-07 school year. The school must, at the end of the application period, have a random drawing to pick the Choice students if there are more eligible Choice applications submitted than slots available.
