Once a parent/legal custodian makes the commitment to enroll a student in a Choice Program, the parent/legal custodian will not be able to transfer the student to another school during the school year. Exceptions to this policy must be requested in writing to the Student Assignment Office and approved by the Board of Education.
Students currently assigned to a Choice Program will remain assigned to that program unless a Choice Exit Application is completed and submitted to the Student Assignment Office. These forms will be available online only through the following link: Student Assignment Forms. The Choice Exit Application window for the 2026-2027 academic year is January 9, 2026, to May 29, 2026. Please submit this application if you no longer wish for your child to remain in their current Choice Program assignment. No late applications will be accepted.
