Acceptance Requirements. Just like the application requirement, the admission acceptance requirement may not in any way discriminate against students and families. Recommended Acceptance Requirements The charter school should require a parent or guardian to accept admission to the charter school by notifying the school (providing multiple ways and ample time to do so) of his or her intent to attend. The charter school must notify MCSAB of the school’s anticipated student enrollment by established deadlines. A school is only required to hold a slot for a child whose parent has not accepted admission for two weeks. Thus, if an admitted student does not attend school for two consecutive weeks, that slot may be released to given to a student on the waitlist. In such cases, a charter school is required to: • Notify the parent/guardian after five days of missing school to discuss their intent to send their child to the school. • State that in order for the slot to be held, the student must attend school within the next five days. • If the student does not attend within those five days, the school may release that particular slot and fill it with a child from the waitlist (if no waitlist exists, the school may receive applications for that slot.) 80% Requirement of Students Eligible for Free Lunch 69.9% 80% Requirement of Students Eligible For Special Needs 8.1%
