TABLE 4 (Cont'd). Status of Courses, Programs and Facilities of Schools 

  

Courses = Senior All high schools have courses meeting the North 

High Carolina standards for high school graduation, 

Courses exceeding the State minimum are offered 

in all schools. Three schools have had less of the 

extra courses than the other ten, (Due to fewer 

pupils where other extra courses would demand more 

per-pupil cost than at the other, larger schools) 

- J. H. Gunn has only 146 pupils in senior high 

sexved by 10 professional staff (or 15 pupils per 

staff) 

- Sterling has only 66 pupils in senior high served 

by 8 professional staff (or 8 pupils per staff) 

- Torrence-Lytle has 235 pupils in senior high served 

by 14 professional staff (or 17 pupils per staff), 

These may be compared to 

~- West Charlotte having 1560 pupils, 67 professional 

staff (or 23 pupils per staff) and to 

- Garinger having 2268 pupils, 100 professional 

staff (or 23 pupils per staff) 

Programs = The latter two schools (and all except the three 
above) have far more cxtra courses and programs for 

less per-pupil cost, Therefore, equitably, the 

larger schools more adapt each pupil for college or 

for employment following graduation, 

  

Retarded, advanced and summer programs add to the 

regular program of all schools, particularly the

Adopted 3/11/65 

  

EXHIBIT "A" 

Be It Resolved By The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education: 

). 

Attendance Areas 
  

Attendance areas are hereby established for all schools 

within the Mecklenburg County Administrative School Unit (with 

the temporary exceptions hereinafter noted under the article 

entitled "EXCEPTIONS") and the boundaries thereof are hereby 

established as shown on those three certain maps this day 

exhibited to the Board and approved by the Board. These maps are 

identified and designated as follows: '"Map No. 1, Attendance 

Areas for Elementary Schools", '"Map No. 2, Attendance Areas for 

Junior High Schools" and '""Map No. 3, Attendance Areas for Senior 

High Schools". The Chairman and Secretary of this Board shall 

each affix his signature to each map in his official capacity 

and the official seal of the Board shall be affixed, as evidence 

of its adoption by the Board. A copy of each map shall be kept 

at each school in the attendance areas shown thereon. The maps 

shall be open to public inspection in the office of the 

Superintendent and at the schools. 

2. 

Assignment of Pupils 
  

All pupils within any attendance area shall be assigned to 

the school of his or her grade within such attendance area. 

 



  

Assignment for any forthcoming school term shall be made not later 

than the last school day of the preceding school term. In the 

case of children enrolled during such term, notice of assignment 

may be given by noting the same on the report card of the pupil. 

Except for beginners, pipils not then enrolled shall be assigned 

at the time of their application for enrollment. 

3. 

Assignment from Pre-School Clinics 
  

Beginners (children entitled to enrollment under G. S. 115-162) 

may attend any pre-school clinic but shall be assigned to the 

first grade of the school in the attendance area where the parent 

resides. Written notice of each assignment shall be given by mail 

to the parent at the same time as the report card notice to pupils 

already enrolled. (The word parent as used in these regulations 

shall denote the parents, if living together, or the parent or 

person in loco parentis with whom the pupil resides). 

4, 

Free Choice of Transfer 
  

After original assignment, the parent of any pupil may apply 

to the Board for reassignment of such pupil to any school serving 

his’ or her grade and located in any other attendance area. Any 

such request for transfer shall be allowed as of course to the 

extent that the facilities and accommodations of the chosen school 

will permit. Application may be made for Choice I, Choice II and 

Choice III and transfer will be permitted, in the order‘of choice, 

to the school having the facilities and accommodations to admit 

suCh child or children. Requests for transfer shall be on a 

? 

 



printed form available at the office of the Superintendent or at 

any school office. When signed, the form may be delivered or 

mailed to the principal of the school of original assignment or 

to the office of the Superintendent. No reason need be given 

therefor. Application for transfer or reassignment shall be made 

not’ later than June 30 in the case of original assignments made 

on or before June 20, Pupils originally assigned thereafter shall 

make application for transfer within ten days after receipt of 

the notice of the assignment. If there should be requests for 

transfer to a particular school by more pupils from other atten- 

dance areas than the transferee school can accommodate, proximity 

to the school shall be the controlling factor. 

5, 

Transfers Limited in Case of New Schools 
    

In the case of mass assignments of pupils to newly opened 

schools in newly created attendance areas, the Board may deny 

the request for the transfer of any pupil back to the school in 

which he was previously enrolled, if, in the judgment of the 

Board, it appears that the number of transfer requests is of 

such volume as to unduly reduce the enrollment in such new school 

or interfere with the orderly administration thereof. 

6. 

Varsity Athletics 
  

A student who exercises the privilege of free choice under 

these regulations and is granted transfer to a senior high school 

(grades 10, 11, or 12) other than the senior high school serving  



  

the attendance area in which he resides, shall not be eligible 

for participation in varsity athletics for the duration of the 

first school year of assignment in the chosen school: Except 

that where by reason of changes in the boundaries of attendance 

areas a pupil is originally assigned to a school other than the 

one in which he was previously enrolled, such pupil, if he 

chooses to return to said school and is assigned accordingly, 

shall be immediately eligible for varsity participation. This 

Tule shall also apply to rising tenth graders, who, but for the 

change in the attendance area boundaries, would be entitled to 

enrollment in the school to which transfer is requested. 

The Director of Physical Education and Athletics shall 

administer the above regulations pertaining to athletic parti- 

cipation and shall maintain appropriate records in his office 

and shall require that similarly appropriate records be kept 

in the individual senior high school offices pertaining to 

total athletic participation eligibility. 

7? 

School Capacity to be Determined 
  

A rated capacity shall be established and adopted by the 

Board for each school facility in the Mecklenburg County School 

Administrative Unit prior to the date of initial assignments for 

any ensuing school term. Under normal circumstances, additional 

assignments of students from outside the official attendance area 

4. 

 



  

of each specific school will be limited to a total anticipated 

enrollment to be established as of July 1 in each year not to 

exceed the rated capacity of the school plus five per cent of 

such capacity in elementary schools and ten per cent of such 

capacity in secondary schools. This limitation shall not apply 

to new residents in an attendance area. In elementary schools 

(grades 1-6) there shall also be a rated capacity for each 

grade. 

The Board will act upon transfer requests immediately after 

determination as of July 1 of the anticipated enrollment for an 

ensuing term, as hereinabove provided for, and the determination 

at that time shall control notwithstanding subsequent changes in 

enrollment at any school.

Where transportation is provided in any school attendance 

area the school buses will not normally operate beyond the boun- 

daries of such attendance area, and, therefore, it will not be 

practicable to transport a pupil residing in one attendance area 

to the school of his choice in another attendance area. Provided, 

however, that a pupil residing in any attendance area and attend- 

ing a school in another attendance area may have transportation 

to such school from any regular stop for receiving pupils and 

from the school to any regular stop for discharging pupils within 

such attendance area.

Enrollment Continues for School Term 
  

Any child enrolled in any school after original assignment 

or by transfer after original assignment shall remain in the 

school of enrollment for the school term, and no subsequent 

transfer will be permitted except for a change of residence from 

one attendance area to another or for other good cause shown. 

In’ the event of change of residence, the pupil may elect to 

remain in the school of enrollment for the remainder of the school 

term. A pupil enrolled in a school in an attendance area other 

than that of his or her residence shall be advanced, at the appro- 

priate time, to the junior or senior high school, as the case may 

be, serving the attendance area in which the pupil resides. This 

provision shall not’ have the effect of denying such pupil the 

right of transfer to another school of his grade and choice at the 

end of the term of the school in which the pupil is enrolled.

which these schools draw pupils so as to eliminate overlapping and 

to permit the children in these schools to be assigned according 

to geographically drawn attendance areas will be undertaken as
