Enrollment Options Guide 2015-16
• McClymonds Adult Education program requires students to
be 17.9 years of age and older
Parents who are interested in seeking an alternative program
for their child under 18 years of age, are strongly encouraged
to also submit an Options Enrollment application to apply for
comprehensive school as well. Participating in the Options
Enrollment process will ensure that your child is assigned a
high school to attend in the fall.
Charter School Options
What is a Charter School?
Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that are
governed differently than district-managed schools. Like
all public schools, charter schools may not teach a religious
curriculum or violate anyone’s civil rights in their operations.
Each charter school has an agreement (charter) with OUSD,
the county in which they are located, or the state of California
that describes what grades it will offer, how the school will
provide learning opportunities to its students, and how the
school’s success will be measured. Each charter school has its
own elected governing board which is ultimately responsible
for what happens at the school, so sometimes curriculum,
class configurations, and other school practices may look a
little different from traditional OUSD schools. Currently, over
11,000 students attend the 38 charter schools located in
Oakland.

or other opportunities for you to find out more about their
program. If you are considering a charter school, try to visit
while school is in session; interview school leaders, parents,

Although charter schools in the Oakland area are not currently
linked to the OUSD Open Enrollment process, they typically
accept applications and enroll students during similar times.
Parents who are interested in having their child attend a
charter school must contact the school directly to learn the
steps necessary to enroll their child. Admission requirements,
procedures, and deadlines vary among each charter school.
