5120 - ASSIGNMENT OF STUDENTS TO SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS WITHIN THE SCHOOL CORPORATION

Article 8, Section 1 of the Indiana Constitution establishes a right to a tuition free education in an Indiana public school district. The Indiana Student Legal Settlement statute, I.C. 20-26-11, establishes which Indiana public school district a student has a right to attend. Attendance at a particular school or program is established by Board Policy 5120 and the administrative guideline that implements this policy.

The Board directs that the assignment of students to schools and programs within the School Corporation be consistent with the effectiveness of the instruction of students and the best use of the Board’s resources.

The Superintendent shall assign incoming students to schools, grades, classes, and programs that meet the student’s educational needs.

A principal shall assign students in a school to grades, classes, groups, and programs based on the needs of the students and the Board.
