Choices Application

2014-2015
Space Available Application
Student Integration Services now offers the Space Available Application. Starting
December 2, 2013, parents may apply to Magnet programs on the eChoices
website or complete a Choices paper application. The Space Available process
will allow applicants to apply for a single Magnet program. Space Available
applicants are not assigned priority points and do not accrue any priority points.
Space available seats will open after all of the students on the Waiting list have
been offered placement at the selected school site. Each Magnet’s openings are
determined by the need to maintain a racially balanced enrollment as mandated
by the Court Order, and by available space. Please be aware that filling out a
space available application does not guarantee student placement. Applicants
will be called by the school site when an opening becomes available. This may
occur after April 2014 through January 2015.
To proceed with the Space Available application, download the following
application and mail it in after December 2, 2013 to LAUSD Administrative
Building, Student Integration Services- 25th floor, 333 S. Beaudry Ave, Los Angeles,
CA 90017 or mail the Choices paper application found in the Choices brochure.
You may also apply online. To apply online, go to the 2014-2015 Space Available
Application link on the eChoices main webpage at eChoice.lausd.net. When you
apply online, you will receive a receipt of application with a confirmation number.
Applicants will also be able to view their application online.
