Choice/Transfer

Under NCLB's accountability provisions, schools failing to meet their adequate yearly progress (AYP) targets for two consecutive years must offer their students public school choice. Districts must identify higher performing schools and make these options available to students in the lower performing school, starting with the lowest income, lowest achieving students. Districts may use up to 20% of their Title I funds to support transportation related to the school choice provisions.
