RECOMMENDED MOTION: That the Board of Education adopt the following resolution:

WHEREAS, Schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Section 1116 of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as added by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, must offer their students the choice of attending other schools that have not been so identified (so-called “choice students); and

WHEREAS, the Itasca School District #10 may be requested by other school districts to accept and enroll students currently attending a school identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring; and

WHEREAS, no school in the Itasca School District #10 has adequate resources, capacity, and/or staffing that wouldmake it a candidate for accepting non-resident choice students from non-district schools without harming the education program it currently offers;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1. Itasca School District #10 will not enter into intergovernmental agreement to accept non-resident students from non-District schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring;
2. Itasca School District #10 will not accept non-resident choice students for enrollment, other than pursuant to: (1) an intergovernmental or cooperative agreement that pre-existed this Resolution; (2) a binding order from a court having appropriate jurisdiction; (3) foreign exchange students accepted pursuant to District only; or (4) State or federal law requiring the District to accept non-resident students.
3. The Superintendent shall keep the Board apprised of any change in conditions that might cause the Board to reconsider this Resolution.

Adopted this 14th day of July, 2004.
