No Child Left Behind > Academic Choice

NCLB Academic Choice

The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires school districts to give students at schools identified for "school improvement" the option of transferring to another school. All students who are eligible for school choice will receive a letter in the mail. Only students who are enrolled in a school identified by the Louisiana State Department of Education for "school improvement" are eligible, and being identified for "school improvement" does not mean that the school is being closed.

Transferring to a "receiving school" is a parental decision. Students do not have to attend a different school. Parents are, however, being provided an option to send children to another school, apply for a special program at another school, or take advantage of Supplemental Educational Services provided at eligible schools.
