An admission process is necessary in vocational technical schools where space is a limiting factor. Vocational technical laboratories (shops) are designed and equipped to serve a specific maximum number of students safely. Consequently, a complex of such laboratories lacks both the space and flexibility to accommodate the possible needs and/or interests of all applicants. Therefore, a selection process is necessary. All applicants to grade nine through twelve at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School will be evaluated using the criteria contained in this Admission Policy. This policy was approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on August 11, 2010 and by the Cape Cod Regional Technical School District School Committee on March 22, 2012 and revised and approved on September 25, 2014.
Cape Cod Regional Technical High School admits students and makes available to them its advantages, privileges and courses of study without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or homelessness status. If a student voluntarily self identifies as limited English proficiency, a qualified representative from Cape Cod Regional Technical High School or contracted professional (at Cape Cod Tech’s expense) will assist the applicant in completing the necessary forms and assist in interpreting during the entire applications and admission process upon the request of the applicant. Students with disabilities may voluntarily self-identify for the purpose of requesting reasonable accommodations during the entire application and admission process. Information submitted voluntarily by students with limited English proficiency and students with disabilities, for the purpose of receiving assistance and accommodations during the entire application and admission process, will not affect their admission to the school.
Any eighth, ninth, tenth or eleventh grade student who is a resident of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District (which includes the towns of Barnstable, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet and Yarmouth) who expects to be promoted to the grade they seek to enter by their local district is eligible to apply for fall admission or admission during the school year subject to the availability of openings to Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. The federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act requires school districts to enroll a homeless student in school. Homeless students have a right to either remain in their school of origin or to attend school where they are temporarily residing. Homeless students will be accepted to Cape Cod Regional Technical High School according to the selection criteria contained in this admission policy. Resident students will be evaluated using the criteria contained in this Admission Policy. Priority for admission is given to Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District residents according to the District Agreement. The family and/or school district may be asked to verify residency within the District if Cape Cod Regional Technical High School is uncertain about residency.
Although Cape Cod Regional Technical High School does not currently participate in the School Choice Program, the District School Committee considers this option and votes every spring on whether to participate in the School Choice Program.
Students who are non-residents of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District (Out of District students) are eligible to apply for fall admission or admission during the school year subject to the availability of openings to Cape Cod Tech provided they expect to be promoted to the grade they seek to enter by their local district. Out of District students will be evaluated using the criteria contained in this Admissions Policy. Nonresident students will be evaluated according to the criteria contained in this admission policy and according to M.G.L. c. 74 s. 8A (please see the “guidelines for Vocational Technical Education Program Nonresident Student Tuition Process Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 74 located at www.doe.mass.edu/cte/admissions/nonresguidelines). Priority for admission is given to Cape Cod Regional Technical High School district residents. Transfer students from other Chapter 74 state-approved vocational technical education are eligible to apply for fall admission and admission during the school year to grades 912 at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School provided they expect to be promoted to the grade they seek to enter by their current school. Transfer students will be evaluated using the criteria contained in this Admission Policy.
