Admission to Micro-Enterprise Charter Academy, (M.E.C.A.) is open to any resident of the state of California. M.E.C.A. Charter School pledges to use non-discriminatory processes and will actively recruit a diverse student population from the communities being served by M.E.C.A.

During the fall enrollment period, if the number of children who wish to attend M.E.C.A. exceeds the school’s capacity or the capacity of a particular grade, enrollment will be determined by a public random drawing by family, except for existing pupils of the charter school. Each Family Lottery will include three random drawings to determine enrollment status in the following order; Staff Preference, Sibling(s) of current students, New Families. M.E.C.A. will maintain a Waiting List for students not selected through the lottery process. Any openings to be filled during the school year will be filled first through the Waiting List and then on a first-come, first-serve basis.
