HRS §302A-1143.5
Enrolling students in career and technical education programs
Schools with career and technical education programs must accept all students who apply on time and live in the school's area, attended last year, or live outside the area. If too many apply, the school first takes local and returning students, then uses a lottery for others. The department will make rules to carry this out.
The statute, as written — Career and technical education programs; enrollment
(a) Any school having a career and technical education program shall enroll all students who submit a timely application for participation in the program and who: (1) Reside within the school's service area; (2) Were enrolled in the school during the previous school year; or (3) Reside outside the school's service area; provided that if enrolling all students pursuant to paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) will cause the enrollment of the school to exceed the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or building, the school shall enroll all students described in paragraphs (1) and (2) and fill any remaining capacity of the program, class, grade level, or building by selecting eligible students described in paragraph (3) through a lottery system. (b) The department shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91 to effectuate the purposes of this section.
