Student Status for Choice Lottery
- After enrolling at a Future Ready Institute, the Future Ready Institute student is not eligible to transfer to his/her zone school until the following school year. They may apply to a choice school when the next application period opens for the following school year. The Office of School Choice may make exceptions to this policy. All students who attend the first day of school are expected to remain in the choice school for the entire school year.
- The student also must have good attendance (see Exit Policy for attendance) by the end of the school year and follow the Hamilton County Department of Education Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline Policy.
- Student athletes who transfer from a zone or any School Choice option to another zone or magnet school, Open Enrollment school, or Future Ready Institute fall under the TSSAA and TMSSA transfer guidelines.
- Hardships to a school that offers Future Ready Institute seats are less likely to be considered. Families should always apply through School Choice Application if available.
- A Future Ready Student must progress academically within the Institute they are enrolled and qualify to remain in the cohort they entered with. Not qualifying to remain in the cohort will require the student to return to their zoned school and may reapply for School Choice options after one year.
