YEAR END FLAGS FOR GRADE 12 AND NEXT YEAR ENROLLMENT TRANSFERS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS User Guide

LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Information Technology Division My Integrated Student Information System YEAR END FLAGS FOR GRADE 12 AND NEXT YEAR ENROLLMENT TRANSFERS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS User Guide Next Year Enrollment Reminders: Enrollment records for continuing students were initially uploaded to MiSiS electronically on April 21, and will continue as records are updated. Enrollment records for matriculating students from Elementary and Middle Schools who have a single resident school, were uploaded to MiSiS electronically for the next school based on their address, in late April. A Transfer record must be created for any student who will attend a different school for one of the following reasons: Open Enrollment, * living in an Option Area, Romero Open Enrollment, * SAS acceptance, or change of placement for a Special Ed student to a campus that is not his/her home school, based on the student s active IEP * A matriculating student living in an Option area is not automatically assigned to a school for the next year. Sending schools are able to generate a report of their students and the boundary schools based on their addresses. Schools must contact a parent/guardian to determine which school their student will attend, and create a transfer record in MISIS. This process will create an enrollment record for the school indicated. * SAS schools are to notify the sending school which students were accepted and the sending school will need enter the Transfer records. Pre-K Students: These students will not automatically rollover for the new school year. They must be re-enrolled with E-7 for Kindergarten. Any continuing student who will NOT attend the expected next school or will leave to another District for the new school year, must be withdrawn at the end of this year. The Leave Date should be the last Date of in-seat attendance (the last day of school a transfer record should NOT be created for this situation). If the student shows up at another District school in the Fall, the new school will be able to enroll him/her for the new school year. Zone of Choice schools should be receiving student lists from the Zone of Choice Office in April. Enrollment data for newly selected Magnet, PWT (Permit with Transportation), ZOC (Zone Of Choice), and PSC (Public School Choice) students will be electronically uploaded to MiSiS by April/May.

FOSTER CARE EXEMPTION California legislation amended section 51225.3 of the California Education Code (E.C.) AB167 to exempt pupils in foster care from school district graduation requirements that exceed state graduation requirements. This assembly bill replaces AB 167 that was enacted October 11, 2009. This exemption from district graduation requirements only applies if student meets ALL of the criteria outlined in The Principal s Brief, 4/4/2014 The bill states in part that a school district shall exempt a pupil in out-of-home care (i.e. foster care, group homes, or with relative caregivers) from all coursework and other requirements adopted by the district that are in addition to the statewide course requirements, if the student transfers into out-of-home care during the 11th or 12th grade, unless the school district makes a finding that the pupil is reasonably able to complete the additional requirements in time to graduate from high school while he or she remains eligible for foster care benefits. If needed, upon review and the exemption is approved the student will only need to meet the state requirements of 130 credits to receive a diploma. Reference: The Principal s Brief, 4/4/2014 Ed Code AB167 (October 11, 2009) was passed and approved by the Governor to amend Section 51225.3 of the Education Code, relating to high school graduation BUL- 5186 Graduation Requirements for the Graduating Classes 2014 and 2015 (2/11/11) FLOW CHART FOR DETERMING AB216 EXEMPTION In MISIS the AB216 eligibility field is found on the Out-Of-Home-Care screen from the Miscellaneous menu.
