Enrollment Policies

In compliance with Vermont SBE Rule 2229.1(a), we explicitly state that:

• The student or the parent of a student seeking to attend Maple Street School shall voluntarily submit an application;

• Students will not be disadvantaged in the admissions process based on their membership in a protected class, their actual or suspected disability, or their socioeconomic status; please refer to our Non-Discriminatory Policy here;

• When the number of applicants exceeds capacity, applicants are placed on a “wait pool” to be offered admission if a place becomes available;

• Students are accepted for enrollment in a non-discriminatory manner and consistent with the school’s written enrollment policy. No student shall be denied acceptance for enrollment if the reason for denial is that the student is disabled as defined in section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended or that the student is eligible for special education or undergoing the comprehensive evaluation process for special education. No student shall be denied acceptance for enrollment on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or any other classification protected by federal or State law.

Maple Street School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of our educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
