Extension Allows SLPS to Continue Accepting Transfer Students
Students to benefit from expanded magnet programs and other initiatives

St. Louis – The board of directors of the Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Corporation (VICC) today approved a resolution extending the period for accepting new transfer students by an additional five years.

“Our school district supports the action by the VICC board of directors,” said Superintendent Diana Bourisaw. “County students and parents continue to indicate their interest in our magnet program. The action today means students will benefit from program expansions, such as the enhanced gifted initiative at McKinley and the expanded program at Central VPA High School.”

The extension covers the student transfer program through the 2013-2014 school year.
