Due Thursday
\nScenario: You are veteran principal assigned to lead one of the most sought-after elementary magnet schools in the district. The school serves a diverse student population in pre-kindergarten through grade 5. The majority of students are from high-income households; however, 25 percent of seats are mandated for low-income neighborhood students. The school has one empty seat available designated for a low-income neighborhood student to reach its seating capacity by October of the current school year. A parent from outside of the district contacted you to enroll their child at your school. The parent is related to a political individual in your locality. You explained to the parent that enrollment is at capacity and that the parent needed to contact the district superintendent regarding any procedures for out-of-district students to enroll in schools, as well as any requirements for getting on the waitlist for future seats at the school. You received a call from the superintendent\u2019s executive assistant that the political leader asked the superintendent to make an exception and enroll the out-of-district student in the third-grade classroom where the vacant seat exits. The parent has a connection to a politician in your area. You told the parent that the school is full and that they should contact the district superintendent to find out how out-of-district students can enroll in schools and what they need to do to get on the waiting list for future seats. You got a call from the superintendent’s executive assistant saying that the political leader asked the superintendent to make an exception and put the out-of-district student in the third-grade classroom where the empty seat is. The vacant seat is held to meet the 25 percent low-income student threshold. The executive assistant asked you to prepare a written response to the parent, including a courtesy copy to the superintendent and the political leader.<\/p>\n
