5. School of Choice 1^st Round Priorities

   1. Last year it was a district wide set of rules.

   2. School of Choice Office has a new proposal. They do not think the School Board will agree by January, so they are willing to take an individual school’s CSC proposal into consideration.

   3. After much discussion, CSC decided the first priority for students entering Kindergarten would go to students who have a sibling already attending Teller. Second priority would go to teachers’ children, and third priority would go to and continuing ECE students. We will notify everyone as soon as we hear back from the School of Choice office if our proposal is approved.
