School Choice – 2019-2020 School Year

Prescott School District Participates in School Choice.

The school choice program enables any student to attend a school in a district in which the student does not reside, subject to the restrictions cited under the Arkansas Public School Choice Act of 2015.  To participate in School Choice the parent or guardian must submit an application to the district no later than

May 01, 2019 for a child to be able to enroll for the fall semester.  Pursuant to standards adopted by a nonresident school board a nonresident district may reserve the right to accept and reject applicants based on capacity of programs, class, grade level, or school building.  Likewise, a nonresident district’s standards may provide for the rejection of an applicant based upon the submission of false or misleading information which directly impacts the legal qualifications of an applicant to transfer pursuant to the School Choice Act.  Students who have been accepted and enrolled in previous years do not have to reapply as approved transfers remain valid for as long as the student attends Prescott Public Schools. School Choice Applications are available at the administration office located at 762 Martin Street.  If sufficient interest is generated in a geographical area, transportation will be considered.
