School Choice/SES

NCLB Public School Choice

The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires school districts to give students at schools identified for “school improvement” the option of transferring to another higher performing school. All students who are eligible for school choice will receive a letter in the mail. Only students who attend a school identified by the Louisiana State Department of Education for “school improvement” are eligible. Being identified for “school improvement” does not mean that the school is being closed. Transferring to a “receiving school” is a parental decision. However, students do not have to attend a different school. The Orleans Parish School Board had only one school identified for school improvement under NCLB for 2009-2010, which was Priestley Charter School of Architecture and Construction. Until further notification Priestley Charter School is the only school identified as an Academically Unacceptable School for the 2010-2011 school year.

Supplemental Educational Services

The Federal No Child Left Behind Act requires that Academically Unacceptable Schools in AUS 2 or above offer Supplemental Educational Services (SES) to eligible students. The Orleans Parish School Board has made provisions for the students of Priestley School of Architecture and Construction to receive Supplemental Educational Services for the 2010-2011 school year. This means that students can receive extra academic assistance to help improve his or her academic performance free of charge from state approved providers. There’s no obligation to enroll your child in SES, but it is highly recommended that you take advantage of the free tutoring services. For further information please refer to the following links:
