• Student Assignment Regulation JCA-R:  Framework for Student Assignment Plans  

• Student Assignment Regulation JFAC-R:  Reassignments and Transfers  
  

• Student Assignment Policy JCA-E (effective 11-9-16):  This policy describes the purpose of the school options lottery; lottery guarantees and priorities; as well as the lottery process.
