Text (slide 20):
Desegregation orders and choice
- An LEA should first determine whether it is able to offer choice within the parameters of its desegregation plan.
- If it is not able to do so, the district needs to seek court approval for amendments to the plan that permit a transfer option for eligible students.
- If the plan has been agreed to with the Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR), OCR will work with the LEA to identify permissible amendments to the plan that will enable the LEA to comply with Title I public school choice requirements.
