	NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND Information

Background information about
School of Choice Transfer Option

Under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, parents whose child(ren) attend a school that has been identified as Program Improvement (PI) have the right to transfer their child(ren) to a school that has not been identified as PI. Schools are identified as PI schools after two consecutive years of not making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). California determines AYP by considering the following four measures:

• The percentage of students scoring at the “proficient” or “advanced” level on the California Standards Tests for English Language Arts and Mathematics
• The percentage of students participating in those tests
• The graduation rate for high schools
• California’s own accountability measurement of progress, the Academic Performance Index (API)

School of Choice Transfers 2007-2012

Transportation to the Non-PI School of Choice School
Stockton Unified School District is required to provide transportation to students whose parents request a School of Choice transfer to a non-PI School of Choice school as long as the home school remains a PI school, or the School of Choice remains a non-PI school. In accordance with district policy transportation will not be provided if your child lives within one mile of the Non-PI school.

Information about School of Choice Schools
Federal law requires that districts offer Choice transfers at least 14 days before the beginning of school. As the State of California releases the AYP information after Stockton Unified schools begin, letters were sent to parents whose children attend a PI school, or a school that might be identified as PI when AYP information is released.

Should parents wish to transfer their child to a non-PI school they may select from the following schools and their application will be taken into consideration.
     - Elementary: Rio Calaveras
     - High School: Weber Tech or Pacific Law Academy

Additional information about these Choice Schools may be found on our website, or by directly calling the Choice school.
