2. Enrichment 2009
Each school will receive student slots equaling 4% of their CBED’s enrollment, as of October 2007. There will be approximately 1000 slots district wide. These classes are to be used by magnet, academy and other special programs, such as AVID and Puente students who need to take extra elective classes during the school year required by those program models. Other students can apply on a space available basis. The school site will make the decision as to whom will be admitted based on student need and space availability.
