Parents and Students

Choice Program

 

 

Please note:

• Students who are not already registered in a Delaware public school must register at their feeder pattern/resident school before they can apply to Choice to another school.
• Students applying to Cab Calloway School of the Arts must complete a school application in addition to the state application.  (School application will be available online on the school website or at the school.)
• Students applying to Conrad Schools of Science should check out the Conrad Admission Process.
• At Cab Calloway, due to limited seats in 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades, applications for those grade levels are limited to Red Clay residents.
• Decisions regarding Choice requests will be made at the February 20, 2013 Board of Education meeting.  Families will be notified by mail one week later.
• To be considered for available seats in kindergarten it is best to apply for choice during the open period of November 1, 2012 to January 9, 2013

School Choice is designed to increase access to educational opportunities for all children in the state. A parent residing within Delaware may enroll his or her child in a public school in any school district independent of the student's area of residence.

 

If parents choose to send their children to a public school outside of their district or attendance zone, they are responsible for getting their children to the school or to a bus stop on that school’s route without reimbursement. The transportation stipends were discontinued by legislative action in FY09 (2008-2009 School Year)
