Review of Home Based Assignment

  • In March 2013, the School Committee approved a new school choice

process to provide greater access to quality schools closer to home

  • The core of this process is the Home Based Assignment plan
  • Under the Home Based plan, school choice lists contain an average

range of 12 to 14 schools, including:

  • 2 closest MCAS tier I schools
  • 4 closest MCAS tier I or II schools
  • 6 closest schools from the first, second, or third MCAS tiers
  • Every list also includes all schools within one mile from home, citywide
  • ptions, regional schools, and other option schools to ensure program

and seat availability

  • Tiers have been based on a combination of a school’s MCAS score,

which includes measures for proficiency and academic growth

Review of Home Based Assignment

  • School Committee also approved a number of other provisions:
  • English Language Learners (ELLs) Overlay: ELLs at ELD levels

1-3 have access to all schools in their home-based list plus any cluster schools that offer SEI programming.

  • Students with Disabilities (SWDs) Overlay: SWDs have access

to any program within their cluster, with both substantially separate and inclusive options

  • Middle School Overlay: Guaranteed K-8 pathway for all

students to offer predictability for families

  • Quality Commitments: including more K-8 pathways, more

school options, and the creation of more comprehensive school quality measures

  • Now our SIS offers real-time access to information and ability

to make live updates

  • Enhanced online translation services for parents allowing

them to see child’s information live and in their native language

  • This summer was the first time registration and student

assignment were completed through the new SIS.

  • In the future, there will be new functionality for parents through

the Parent Portal

Calculating “access to quality”

Definition

  • Calculates the chance a student has for being assigned to

a Tier 1 or Tier 2 school if the student has ranked all Tier 1 or 2 schools at the top of their choice list.

  • The methodology keeps actual choices constant for all
  • ther K2 students and calculates an access to quality for

each student individually

Takes into Consideration

  • Available seats
  • Competition for seats
  • Actual choices made by students

  • Currently, the ELL overlay has clusters F & G whereas the SWD
  • verlay has a combined cluster of F & G
  • BPS is proposing to merge clusters F & G for the ELL overlay in
  • rder to have the SWD & ELL overlays to match

Rationale for modification:

  • Students in either F or G have access to Special Needs

programs across the clusters but not necessarily SEI program

  • seats. By merging the clusters it will simplify the choice process

for English Language Learner students with moderate/severe disabilities.

  • Clusters F & G individually have the lowest number of ELL
  • students. If the clusters are merged it would give students in

either cluster greater access to SEI programming.
