1. If my school district is implementing a required plan that is ordered by a court, what information does it need to include in an application?
An applicant that submits a plan required by a court order must submit complete and signed copies of all court or State documents demonstrating that the magnet schools are a part of the approved plan. Examples of the types of documents that would meet this requirement include-
- A Federal or State court order that establishes or amends a previous order or orders by establishing additional or different specific magnet schools;
- A Federal or State court order that requires or approves the establishment of one or more unspecified magnet schools or that authorizes the inclusion of magnet schools at the discretion of the applicant.
2. If my school district is implementing a required plan that is ordered by a State agency or official of competent jurisdiction, what information does it need to include in an application?
An applicant submitting a plan ordered by a State agency or official of competent jurisdiction must provide documentation that shows that the plan was ordered based upon a determination that State law was violated. In the absence of this documentation, the applicant should consider its plan to be a voluntary plan and submit the data and information necessary for voluntary plans.
TOP3. If my school district is implementing a Title VI required plan, what information does it need to include in an application?
An applicant that submits a plan required by OCR under Title VI must submit a complete copy of the plan demonstrating that magnet schools are part of the approved plan.
TOP4. My school district has a required plan, but it does not approve or authorize the schools that the school district wants to include in its MSAP application. Can these schools be supported in a MSAP project?
In order for a school to be supported in a MSAP project, the school must be approved or authorized as a magnet school in the desegregation plan. A previously approved desegregation plan that does not include the magnet school or program for which the applicant is now seeking assistance must be modified to include the proposed magnet schools. The modification to the plan must be approved by the court, agency, or official that originally approved the plan. An applicant that wishes to modify a previously approved OCR Title VI plan to include different or additional magnet schools must submit the proposed modification for review and approval to the OCR Regional Office that approved its original plan.
An applicant should indicate in its application if it is seeking to modify its previously approved plan. However, all applicants must submit proof to ED of approval of all modifications to their plans by June 1, 2007.
