SCHOOL CHOICE

Act 853 (2014) provides for the right of a parent or legal guardians to enroll his or her child in a school other than the school to which the child was scheduled to be enrolled based upon a school district attendance zone under the following circumstances: if the school at which the child was most recently enrolled received an SPS of “D” or “F” in the most recent school year AND the school to which the child is sought to be enrolled received a School Performance Score of “C” or better. As Act 853 is based on variable eligibility criterion, any Act 853 enrollment will be considered an annual enrollment and will not allow for enrollment beyond one school year.
