  14. Continue to monitor enrollments throughout the summer with principals and secretaries • In situations in which there is already an enrollment concern, e.g. Shelter Rock we will: • Freeze permissive transfers • Not allow that school to be a “receiving Choice school” • Any new registrations will be assigned to a “sister school” which has lower enrollment and close proximity for a period of one year Space Challenge Considerations: Short Term
