3. Florida’s Genuine NCLB Choice Options
   Minutes: The School District of Palm Beach County is required as part of the NCLB Act to provide choice options for students who attend Title I schools that were designated as a “School In Need Of Improvement” (not making AYP) for two or more consecutive years. Board Members were updated on each of the options and given current data to provide a clear picture of how this initiative is being implemented in this district.

   Mrs. Burdick questioned if there will be a recommendation with regards to our federal legislation platform. Dr. Johnson responded that there will be.
   
   Board Members discussed: predictions on how many students would be eligible for choice programs next year; AYP for high school; and the definition of a Title I school.
