Forms to Update School Related Information

 

This form is used when a continuing school will have a new Choice administrator* OR when a new or continuing school Choice administrator must change his/her contact information. A school may only have one Choice administrator for the Private School Choice Program. Schools may have multiple designees. Schools may have the previous Choice administrator be a designee for the school by submitting a Designee Authorization and Update form with the new Choice administrator’s signature. Reminder: Schools new to Choice are not permitted to change Choice administrators prior to August 1, unless the individual has completed the trainings, including the Fiscal Management Training.

*See the Choice Administrator Training and Access to OAS webpage for training required to become a Choice administrator.

This form is used when a new or continuing school will have new designee(s)** OR when there is a change to contact information for a current designee of a new or continuing Choice school.
**See the Designee Training and OAS Access webpage for training required to become a designee.
 
This form is used to report changes in the school’s governing board members by August 1 of every year. In addition, schools should use the form to report changes to board members’ contact information as they occur throughout the year.
 

ONLY Choice administrators may complete and submit this form.

Choice administrators use this form to report the following:
Change in school's name
Addition or removal of a school location
Change in grades offered to MPCP and/or RPCP students
Change in all grades offered by the school
Change in school term end date

Disclosure of Information

This form is used primarily by new schools to communicate select school policies with the DPI and with parents at the time they apply for the program.

Continuing schools reporting changes in the school's governing board members must use the Governing Board Information Update form located above and should not submit the Disclosure of Information form.

Private School – All Students Report Card

This form is used to indicate whether a school would like to have just the Choice students included in the required report card or if they would like all of their students to be included in a report card.

The form is due each year by the first weekday in August each year. After the first weekday in August, the next opportunity to change the school’s option for the Private School-All Students Report Card is the following August. Due to data collection processes, the department cannot change the data collection for Choice and non-Choice students until the next school year. For additional information, please see On Demand Training 4-1: Report Cards, Student Information System, and WISEdata.
