Admission Policy The Board of Trustees of Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School authorizes the Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School as follows: Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School (PALCS) will utilize an open enrollment plan to encourage all parents to consider enrolling their children. Any child who is qualified under the laws of Pennsylvania for admission to a public school is qualified for admission to PALCS. Student Enrollment policies and procedures follow all applicable Pennsylvania Department of Education requirements and state law. The Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School board recognizes that all resident children in Pennsylvania qualify for admission to PALCS as follows: � As a charter school, Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School shall not discriminate in its admission policies or practices on the basis of intellectual or athletic ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, status as a person with a disability or proficiency in the English language, or any other basis that would be illegal if used by a school district. No tests will be administered to students in order to determine eligibility for admission. � As a charter school, Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School may limit admission to a particular grade level, a targeted population group composed of at-risk students, or areas of concentration of the school such as mathematics, science, or the arts. � As a charter school, Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School may establish reasonable criteria to evaluate prospective students as outlined in the school’s charter. Applications for student enrollment must be submitted by a deadline that will be established and made known by PALCS. Preference in enrollment may be given to siblings of students presently enrolled in the charter school. Kindergarten is offered. Kindergarten eligibility will be determined by the entrance age in the district where that child resides. If more students submit applications than can be accommodated by the school’s capacity (class, grade or building), students must be selected on a random basis from a pool of qualified applicants meeting the established eligibility criteria and submitting an application by the deadline established by PALCS. Before the lottery, qualified students will be separated by grade, and a specified date will be made known to all applicants and their families. A drawing of names will then be held by grade until all open slots in each grade level are filled. A waiting list will be maintained in order drawn by lot, if needed, for the admission of students at a grade level should space become available during the school year. Students whose applications are received after the deadline will be placed on the waiting list in the order that their applications are received.
