An admission process is necessary in career technical and agricultural schools where capacity or seats is a limiting factor. Agricultural and technical laboratories 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 potential needs and/or interests of all applicants. Therefore, a selective criteria is necessary. When ENSATS receives more applications than available seats, ENSATS applies selection criteria to determine which students it will admit. The criteria ENSATS applies has been approved by the ENSATS School Committee (hereafter “School Committee’’). The School Committee will approve the use of these criteria annually. ENSATS’ Admission Policy is also on file with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
