501.5 - Attendance Center Assignment

The Board shall determine the boundaries for each attendance center. District Administration shall determine assignment of students to an attendance center based on any boundaries determined by the Board.

Efforts shall be made to maintain elementary (K-4) class sizes of 23 or fewer students. Placement of elementary students may be made based on class size, program needs of students, and other factors on a case-by-case basis. However, every effort shall be made to keep siblings together that would attend in the same building.

In compliance with HF 598, parents or guardians may request that twin siblings (or other levels of multiples) be placed in the same classroom or different classrooms. This request shall be honored unless the principal determines that the placement would create a classroom disruption. After the first grading period of the school year, the principal and the students’ teachers may determine that the placement was disruptive and the students can be placed in different classes.
