Explain the efforts that the Buffalo Public School District will make to increase the number of Public School Choice seats that

will be available in the 2013-2014 school year and identify how many additional seats the Buffalo Public School District

expects to make available, in which schools, and to serve which students.

In April 2013, student placements at Schools in Good Standing were restricted to reserved seats for upcoming PSC transfers. This

was the extent of measures implemented for 2013-2014. Activities are planned to begin September 2013 to increase district capacityfor PSC transfers over the next three years. Increased seat estimates are included with applicable goals listed in the CAP.

Explain how the Buffalo Public School District will address situations in which there are more requests for transfers to a

school than there are seats available to meet all requests.

Beginning in September, 2013 the district will implement action steps intended to address this challenge; establishing space for

bilingual students and students with disabilities, physically expanding seat capacity for general education, ELL, and special educationstudents in schools in Good Standing, and other measures including school closure and opening.

Explain the strategies that the Buffalo Public School District will undertake to ensure that Public School Choice is available to

any eligible English language learners, including students who wish a bilingual education program and students with

disabilities.

The districts immediate strategy is to establish additional physical space at Schools in Good Standing. Additionally, the District

expects to increase access to varied potential seats for English language learners and students with disabilities through closure of

Priority Schools and re-openings of vacant school sites.

Identify any student for whom the Buffalo Public School District asserts it lacks capacity to accommodate a Public School

Choice request, the reason why the request cannot be accommodated, the steps the Buffalo Public School District is taking to

address lack of capacity, the timeline for implementation of these steps, and the milestones by which it will measure progress

towards addressing the capacity issues and coming into full compliance with Commissioners Regulations.

PSC students for whom the district lacks capacity will not be known until after August 9, 2013, when PSC requests are processed forthe 2013-2014 school year. At that time, a roster will be developed indicating the districts capacity to accommodate PSC requests.

The roster will be updated on a monthly basis by the Assistant Superintendent of Attendance & Registration and will be available forreview.

Provide an assurance that any student who was denied Public School Choice in the 2012- 2013 school year because of lack of

capacity and remains eligible for choice in the 2013-2014 school year will receive Public School Choice if a timely application

is submitted.

As requested by NYSED, for this current school year only, the 59 students who were not offered PSC transfers in 2012-2013 havebeen moved to the top 59 spots in their assigned grade levels for the current PSC transfer process. These 59 students are included in

the current transfer projections of 300-500 students for the 2013-2014 school year.
