Admission Procedures. NSCS will be open to all students on a space-available basis. No student will be denied admission based on ethnicity, creed, gender, disability, or place of residence. No out- of-state students will be enrolled. NSCS will substantially follow the model admission procedure identified by the Idaho State Board of Education in the initial year and for every year thereafter. NSCS has identified the following admission procedures: A parent, guardian, or other person with legal authority to make decisions regarding school attendance on behalf of a child in this state, may make a request in writing for such child to attend NSCS. In the case of a family with more than one (1) child seeking to attend, a single written request for admission must be submitted on behalf of all siblings whom the parents desire to enroll in NSCS. The written request for admission shall contain the name, grade level, address, and telephone number of each prospective student in a family. If the initial capacity of the school is insufficient to enroll all prospective students, then a lottery, as described elsewhere in this charter, shall be utilized to determine which prospective students will be admitted to the school. Only those written requests for admission submitted on behalf of prospective students that are received prior to the established deadline shall be permitted in the lottery. Only written requests for admission shall be considered. NSCS will hold a lottery each year unless the initial capacity of NSCS is sufficient to enroll all prospective students. The lottery will be held in a public forum and a neutral 3rd party will conduct the lottery selection. NSCS will determine the students who will be offered admission by conducting a fair and equitable lottery conducted according to IDAPA 08.02.04.203 and Idaho Code 33-5205.
