514 – Bullying Prohibition Policy
The purpose of this policy is to assist MTCS in its goal of preventing and responding to acts of bullying, intimidation, violence, reprisal, retaliation, and other similar disruptive and detrimental behavior. To the extent such conduct affects the educational environment of MTCS and the rights and welfare of its students and is within the control of MTCS in its normal operations, MTCS intends to prevent bullying and to take action to investigate, respond to, and to remediate and discipline for those acts of bullying which have not been successfully prevented. (This policy is provided in full in each of MTCS’s Family Handbooks.)

As a result of the U.S. Supreme Court Ruling, school personnel may not deny admission to a student during initial enrollment or any other time on basis of undocumented status; or require parents or students to disclose their immigration status or social security numbers, which may expose undocumented status (458 U.S. 1131).

If the enrollment at any MTCS program exceeds the capacity of the program, class, grade level or physical space, students will be accepted by lot.

MTCS will give enrollment preference to a sibling of an enrolled student and to a foster child of that pupil’s parents. The children of school staff’s children will be given preference before accepting other students by lottery.

When space opens up in any program, a lottery will be conducted at the MTCS main office before the beginning of each enrollment period. Student’s names will be placed in a container and names will be drawn by the board appointed lottery official. Parents/guardians will be notified by telephone and mail if their child’s name has been drawn.

Public display of hotline number to report suspected misuse of federal funds
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires local school districts and charter schools as recipients of ESEA Title funds to “display, in a public place, the [fraud prevention] hotline contact information …” The purpose is “so that any individual who observes, detects, or suspects improper use of taxpayer funds can easily report such improper use.” [ESEA Section 9203] The hotline number is 1-800-MIS-USED (1-800-647-8733).
