Programs For Relief of Overcrowded Schools
 

Programs for Relief of Overcrowded Schools

Capacity Adjustment Program (CAP)

When a school has reached its capacity and cannot accommodate additional students, new enrollees in Grades K-12 are offered transportation to an integrated school or, if space is available, to a closer PHBAO school. Receiving schools are allocated additional resources on a per-pupil basis.

Satellite Zone Program (SAT)

In this program, a portion of an overcrowded school's attendance area is assigned to an integrated school where space is available and students who reside in the satellite zone are transported to the receiver school. Receiving schools are allocated additional resources on a per-pupil basis.

Other Methods Which Address Overcrowded Conditions

Other methods which are used to address overcrowding include new construction, additions to existing schools, boundary changes, portable classrooms, publicizing voluntary options and year-round scheduling.
