State Superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor announced the following:

“To the maximum extent allowed by law, DPI will hold independent charter and private choice schools to the same standard as school districts for their September 2020 counts.”

To that end, the DPI has developed a Pupil Count Dates guidance for private schools participating in the Private School Choice Programs (Choice or Choice program) and the Special Needs Scholarship Program (SNSP).

The DPI issued the guidance in an e-mail August 13 to private school administrators. See it here.
