District Application Programs District Application Programs include themed programs, career programs and fundamental programs. Find out more about District Application Programs. Special Assignment Requests Special Assignment Requests allow families to apply to attend a school their child is not zoned for. Special Assignment Request cannot be made to a District Application Program because there is a separate application process. Special Assignment Requests are granted on a space-available basis. All such assignments are valid through the highest grade level. Bus transportation is not provided for Special Assignment Requests and parents must arrange to get their child to and from school safely and on time. Find out more about the district's Student Assignment policy. The initial SAR application period will run from April 1 - 15, 2022 for parents to request a non-zoned school that is not a District Application Program for their children for the 2022-2023 school year. The first round of initial application requests for grades 1-12 are granted prior to the end of the current school year. Please note that KG SARs will be granted at the end of June. Late SARs can be made beginning April 26 through June 30, 2022. Late SARs are placed at the bottom of the request list in the order in which they are received, so it is most advantageous to make requests during the initial SAR period between April 1st and 15th. Results from the late application period will be reviewed and granted before the end of July. To apply go to https://reservation.pcsb.org during the application period dates. Students granted a Special Assignment Request (SAR) may remain at the assigned school through the highest grade level as long as there is capacity and all zoned students are able to attend their zoned school. Special Attendance Permit (SAP) - For Out-of-County Residents If a parent, legal guardian, other person with primary or shared parental responsibility for the student, or an adult student has his/her primary legal residence in a county other than this county, s/he may apply for an exception known as a Special Attendance Permit (SAP). The student must complete a Special Attendance Permit Application (PCS Form 4-302). Special Attendance Permit requests will be accepted for both the current school year and the next school year. Please note that SAPs for the 2022-2023 will not be reviewed and or granted until summer 2022. Special Attendance Permit Application (PCS Form 4-302) If approved for school attendance in the District, the student will be assigned to the requested school, provided the school has available space and it is the best interest of the educational program at the school. Parents are responsible for safely transporting their child to and from the assigned school in a timely manner. Students granted a Special Attendance Permit may remain at the assigned school through the highest grade. There is no longer a requirement to re-apply annually. * A student on suspension or who has been expelled cannot be approved for transfer to the District. * No student residing in the district may be displaced by a student from another district. Additionally, the following preferential treatment will be provided through the Special Assignment Request and Special Attendance Permit processes; dependent children of active-duty military personnel whose move resulted from military orders; students who have been relocated due to a foster care placement into another school zone; students who move to another school zone due to a court-ordered change in custody due to separation or divorce, or the serious illness or death of a custodial parent.
