ASSIGNMENT OF STUDENTS TO SCHOOLS

It shall be the duty of the Superintendent or the Superintendent’s designee to assign students to schools.

The only exceptions are listed below:

1. Special needs of specifically coded students.

2. Class size in each school building, understanding that the Rochester School Board goals for class size have been set at 18 in kindergarten, 22 students per classroom in grades 1, 2 and 25 students per classroom in grades 3, 4 and 5.

3. Keeping siblings in the same school building (except in the case of the East Rochester Annex and Maple Street School, which do not house all elementary grades)

4. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND CHANGE OF ASSIGNMENT (JCA)

The Special Services Committee shall hear appeals of student assignments. The Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board for final approval of any change in student assignments.
