2008-2009 year news

I have just heard from a reliable source that Mattie Hampton from Grand Rapids Public Schools has confirmed that students already at a high school(2007-2008 school year) on a Section 6(106) transfer will be grandfathered into a School of Choice spot for the 2008-2009 school year. What does this mean for your child? This means that if your child is in another district high school other than your home district, and you thought you'd have to reapply every year to maintain this spot, you no longer have to go through that process. Your child will have a School of Choice spot and this is a permanent placement. Note Mattie said high school. This does not apply if your child is on a Sect. 6 transfer at elementary or middle school level. Please follow-up on this information at your child's district high school administration office to be sure you are part of this plan. This is progress! More news as it develops. Thank you for reading!
