In order to be eligible for admission, the applicant or qualifying occupant specified by  Education Code 25.001(b) must generally reside in the geographic boundaries of the  School before completing enrollment and satisfy any other admissions criteria specified  in this policy.

The lottery will be conducted via lottery  selection software. The principal or designee of each campus will conduct the  computerized lottery, with supervision by at least one member of the sponsoring entity or  his or her designee and a representative from the School’s Central Office. This ensures  that the admissions list and the waiting list are selected randomly. Results of the lottery  shall be certified by a notary public.

1. a) Development of Waiting List 

The lottery will be paused momentarily after the computerized lottery fills all available  seats allowed by the enrollment cap. The drawing will then continue, and the randomly selected numbers will be used to create a waiting list. As space becomes available,  applicants will be called from the waiting list beginning with applicants with the lowest  number assignment. Applicants selected by lottery will be “deemed admitted” and may  proceed from provisional admission (Texas Education Code Section 25.002) to  enrollment. 

1. b) Enrollment and Waiting List Report 

In accordance with timelines and regulations enacted by the Texas Education Agency,  the Board shall report to the Texas Education Agency, in the form prescribed by the  Commissioner of Education, the following information:  

1. The following information for each School campus:  
2. The number of students enrolled;  
3. The enrollment capacity; and  
4. If the campus uses a waiting list for admission, the total number of students on  the waiting list and the number of students on the waiting list disaggregated by  grade level;  
5. The information described in item 1 above aggregated for all School campuses;  and 
6. Any information required by the Commissioner of Education as necessary to  identify each student admitted to or on a waiting list for admission to a campus  who is or was previously enrolled in a public school in Texas.  

Education Code 12.1174.

1. d) Children of the School’s Founders and Employees and Siblings Policy 

Siblings of returning students currently enrolled in the School and who timely notify the  School of intent to return for the next school year are exempt from the lottery and, space

permitting, are automatically enrolled. For this policy “sibling” shall mean a biological or  legally adopted brother or sister residing in the same household as the applicant. Cousins,  nieces, nephews and unrelated children sharing an address with the applicant are not  siblings. Sibling enrollment is dependent on available space and does not guarantee  enrollment of each listed sibling.  

Children of the School’s founders, teachers, and staff (so long as the total number of  students allowed constitutes only a small percentage of total enrollment) are exempt from  lottery requirements, as permitted by federal guidance on the Charter Schools Program.  

If there are more children of school founders, teachers and staff and sibling applicants  than spaces available, they will be entered into a separate lottery and either admitted if  space allows or placed on the waiting list in the order that they are drawn. 

1. e) Applications Submitted Outside the Designated Application Period 

If a student applies to the School outside of the designated application period, the student  will be placed on a waiting list in the order of the date in which the application is received.

As authorized by Education Code § 12.111(a)(5)(A), the School shall exclude from  enrollment those students who have a documented history of a criminal offense, a juvenile  court adjudication, or other discipline problems under Subchapter A, Chapter 37 of the  Education Code.

Applicants are not required to provide transcripts or other academic records until after they are offered admission. 

Sec. 7. Verification of Residency And Immunization Records for Enrollment 

Verification of residency and current immunization records are required for all students  enrolling. Every student enrolling for the first time must present a signed statement from  a physician or documentation of immunizations as required by the Texas Department of  State Health Services, no later than 30 days after enrolling.

A person’s “residence,” for the purpose of this policy is the true, fixed and permanent  place where the qualifying occupant ordinarily lives and sleeps, not less than four nights  during the school week and to which, when temporarily absent from the residence, the  occupant intends to return. The qualifying occupant specified by Education  Code 25.001(b) must generally reside in the authorized geographic boundaries of the  School, as described in the School’s charter. A person who is homeless, as defined by 42  U.S.C. 11302, need not reside within the geographic boundaries of the School. In order  to verify residency for enrollment, acceptable evidence of residency includes:  

• Current driver’s license or identification card issued by the State of  Texas;

o Credit card bill; 

o Financial institutions; including checking or savings; 

o Insurance companies; 

o State and Federal Revenue documents; 

o Paycheck information. 

o Other sources or documents demonstrating residency  

If, at any time, a student's or qualifying occupant’s residence is in question, the School  may ask for additional documents for verification. If the parent or legal guardian cannot  provide evidence of residency because the parent or legal guardian is living with a relative or friend, a notarized statement by the relative or friend may be accepted by the School  with the following stipulation:  

• Notarized statement must state that the parent or legal guardian and  child are living with the relative/friend; 

DATE ISSUED: 9/20/2012 LAST REVISED: 6/25/2022

• Notarized statement must state the same address of relative or friend  who is on the relative or friend’s proof of residence;  
• A copy of the relative or friend’s proof of residence must be attached to  the notarized statement (meeting the documentation criteria described  above); and  
• The notarized statement must be signed by same name of relative or  friend who is on the relative or friend’s proof of residence.

Sec. 8. Adult Student Attendance Requirement For Continued Admission 

A person who voluntarily attends school after his or her 19th birthday shall attend school  each school day for the entire period the program of instruction is offered. The School  may revoke, for the remainder of the school year, the enrollment of a person who has  more than five absences in a semester that are not excused under Education Code  § 25.087, except that the School may not revoke the enrollment on a day on which the  person is physically present at school. A person whose enrollment is revoked under this  subsection may be considered an unauthorized person on School grounds and a criminal  trespass warning may be issued. Prior to revoking the person’s enrollment, the School  shall issue a warning letter to the person, after the third unexcused absence, stating that  the person’s enrollment may be revoked for the remainder of the school year if the person has more than five unexcused absences in a semester. As an alternative to revoking  enrollment, the School may impose a behavior improvement plan. Education Code  25.085(e).
