Sibling Preference for Early College & Career Schools
There is no sibling preference for College & Career Schools
Deferring an Early College & Career School offer
Families may not defer their offer to an Early College & Career School. A family must either accept or decline the offer.
Student Status for Choice Lottery
- After enrolling at an Early College and Career school, the Early College and Career student is not eligible to transfer to his/her zone school until the following school year. They may apply to a choice school when the next application period opens for the following school year. The Office of School Choice may make exceptions to this policy. All students who attend the first day of school are expected to remain in the choice school for the entire school year.
- The student also must have good attendance (see Exit Policy for attendance) by the end of the school year and follow the Hamilton County Department of Education Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline Policy.
- Student athletes who transfer from a zone or any School Choice option to another zone or magnet school, Open Enrollment school, Early College & Career School or Future Ready Institute will fall under the TSSAA and TMSSA transfer guidelines.
- Hardships to a school that offers Early College & Career seats are not considered.
Transportation
Transportation is only provided for a few of the College & Career school options. Collegiate HS, PolyTech, and the two Akademies at VW have some limited transportation options. Be sure to look into those to be sure they address your needs. For all other College & Career school options, it will be the responsibility of each family to provide transportation for their student.
