Where will small rural districts find “other” schools for children to attend?
In some cases, parents will be notified that their child’s Title I school is identified for “needs improvement” and that the child is eligible for choice, but that no choices are currently available. In this situation, a district shall, to the extent practicable, work with other districts in the area to establish a cooperative agreement that would allow inter-district choice. Title I funds set aside for transportation would be used to provide this choice. At this time, no inter-district choice agreements exist in South Carolina.
