WHAT ARE THE RAMIFICATIONS?
Enrollment / Transportation
USP permits students to continue to the highest grade in the school:
“
Subject
to its decisions, if any, to withdraw or relocate magnet school status or programs, the District shall allow all students currently enrolled in a magnet school or program to remain in that program until they complete the highest grade offered by that school
.”
There may be precedent for “grandfathering” transportation benefits to students but not guaranteed

Funding / Transition Plans
Court has ordered:
“If
some continued funding
[in transition plans] is
to use 910G allocations, the purposes of the funding shall be
consistent with the provisions of the
USP
”
Current transition plans state:
“If
magnet status is withdrawn in the fall of 2016 because your school does not meet the integration criteria, this transition plan will allow you to jumpstart efforts to
improve academic performance
for students who are not achieving at high levels
.”
