BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS - MADISON PARK TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL ADMISSIONS POLICY (Lottery Process)
1. INTRODUCTION

An admission process is necessary in technical high schools where space is a limiting factor. Career laboratories (shops) are designed and equipped to serve a specific maximum number of students safely. Consequently, a complex of such laboratories lacks both the space and flexibility to accommodate the possible needs and/or interests of all applicants. Therefore, students are admitted to Madison Park Technical High School through a Lottery Process. All new applicants to grades 9, 10, 11 or 12 at Madison Park Technical High School will be admitted according to the criteria of the Lottery Process contained in this Admission Policy. The School Committee of the City of Boston unanimously approved this policy on December 16, 2009 and it will go into effect starting with students applying to Madison Park Technical High School for school year 2010-2011.

This policy is intended to comply with the Vocational Technical Education Regulations 603 CMR 4.03 (6) and procedures of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
.

2. EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT

Madison Park Technical Vocational High School admits students and makes available to them its advantages, privileges and courses of study without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability or homelessness status.

If there is a student with limited English proficiency, a qualified representative from Boston Public Schools will assist the applicant in completing the necessary forms and assist in interpreting during the entire application and admission process upon the request of the applicant.

Students with disabilities may voluntarily self-identify for the purpose of requesting reasonable accommodations anytime during the entire application and admission process.

Information on limited English proficiency and disability submitted voluntarily by the applicant, for the purpose of receiving assistance and accommodations during the entire application and admission process, will not affect their admission to the school.
