Element 7: Racial and Ethnic
Balance
Governing Law: The means by which the charter school will achieve a racial and ethnic balance
among its pupils that is reflective of the general population residing within the territorial
jurisdiction of the district to which the charter petition is submitted. Education Code Section
47605(b)(5)(G).
TGS will offer open enrollment to all students regardless of the characteristics listed in
Education Code Section 220 (actual or perceived disability, gender, gender expression, gender
identity, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that
is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code,
including immigration status, or association with an individual who has any of the
aforementioned characteristics). TGS will endeavor to recruit a diverse student population from
Redlands and the surrounding community. It is also TGS’s intention that its students understand
and value its mission and be committed to its instructional and operational philosophy.
To achieve a racial and ethnic balance that is reflective of the general population residing within
the territorial jurisdiction of the District, TGS will implement a student recruitment strategy that
includes the following:
An enrollment timeline and process that allows a broad-based recruiting and application
process.
Distribution of promotional and informational material designed to inform and promote
TGS to diverse racial and ethnic groups in the District.
Distribution of promotional and informational materials to a broad variety of community
groups and agencies that serve the various racial, ethnic, and interest groups represented
in the District.
In addition, students in the attendance boundaries of Mission Elementary School, a very racially
and ethnically diverse area in the District, are given preference in TGS’ lottery as described in
Element 8 below.
See Appendix B for the complete Enrollment and Outreach Plan. The Head of School shall
review student demographic data on a regular basis to ensure the Charter School is meeting its
commitment to a racial and ethnic balance and make recommendations to the Board of Directors,
as necessary, regarding adjustment of the above recruitment strategies.
