Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Preference points will be calculated for all
							 Preliminary Charter School Applications. An application shall receive
							 preference points based on the total of (a), (b), (c) and (d), up to a maximum
							 of 160 points, as follows:
(a) Low
						  Income: Up to 40 points based on the percentage of pupils at either the Charter
						  School or school district where the Charter School is or will be located, or
						  any public school within the Charter School General Location meeting the
						  definition of Low-income. The applicant may report the highest percentage of
						  the three. Use the following sliding scale to determine the number of
						  preference points:

									 Lunch

(b) Overcrowded School District: Up to 40
						  points if the school district where the Charter School is physically located is
						  determined to be overcrowded by dividing the remaining New Construction
						  Eligibility (prior to the reduction from this application) by the district's
						  current enrollment and multiplying the product by 100. The following sliding
						  scale determines the maximum number of preference points available for the
						  degree of overcrowding:
Percentage
									 Overcrowded
Preference Points Assigned
2-9%
4
10-13%
8
14-16%
12
17-19%

50% and above
40
The method of allocating preference points to
							 applicants will utilize the percentage overcrowded chart for a maximum point
							 distribution. Next, each application will be assigned an "effort" percentage
							 which further allocates points within each overcrowding point category. The
							 percentage generated by the number of unhoused pupils that the project will
							 house, divided by the project capacity will represent the effort made to
							 relieve overcrowding in the district. The "effort" percentage will be assigned
							 the following point distribution:
% Effort to Relieve
									 Overcrowding
Ratio of Overcrowded Points
									 Awarded
40% or more
100% of the points
									 for the overcrowded category
30-39%
90% of the points for
									 the overcrowded category
20-29%
80% of the points for
									 the overcrowded category
10-19%
70% of the points for
									 the overcrowded category
1-9%
60% of the points for
									 the overcrowded category
0
No points for the
									 overcrowded category
The total points assigned for overcrowding will be
							 calculated by applying the appropriate "effort" percentage and its
							 corresponding ratio of points to the percentage overcrowded category for the
							 district in which the project will be physically located.
(c) Non-Profit Entity: If the entity
						  operating the Charter School meets the definition of a Non-Profit Entity, the
						  project will receive 40 preference points.
(d) Existing Facilities: If the project
						  proposes to rehabilitate existing facilities, the project will receive 40
						  preference points.
