  1. Overview • Core Values • Admissions Processes • NCLB Public School Choice • Over-the-Counter Enrollment • Admissions Policies • Student Enrollment Resources

  2. Core Values • EQUITY Processes should be standardized so that all students have access and can participate, with the same breadth and depth of information being offered to each family. • TRANSPARENCY and INTEGRITYAdmissions processes should be transparent so that all participants understand what options are available to them, know how to access those options, and make informed choices • STUDENT-DRIVEN CHOICEStudents should be able to express their true preferences and have those choices honored to the extent possible. Choice processes should be student-centered, not school-centered. • ACHIEVEMENT and ACCOUNTABILITYA student-driven process should help create competitiveness amongst schools, increasing the number of high-performing schools and thereby promoting higher levels of student achievement. Families should be able to hold the DOE accountable for the administration of the choice process at the highest levels
