The open Choice process after your choice application is received and processed in February, you will be notified of choice assignments the second week of April, 2008 in time for the May 1 deadline for selecting the choice or magnet program you would like your student to attend next year.

Choice assignments will be made in mid-March and will be selected through a computerized "Lottery" process.

Students interested in magnet programs such as VPA at Booker High, MaST at Sarasota High, and others should contact the school directly.   Please note that "school choice" admits students only into the traditional curriculum at a school.

Other student assignment choice deadlines are consistent with established policy: 

  • May 1 is the deadline for parents to accept or decline the Choice assignment and request transportation for their students,  when they have been selected for choice
     
  • May 5 is the deadline for Volunteer reassignment requests for Charter Schools and Magnet Programs for the following school year.  Schools should submit requests as they are received.

  • May 30 is the deadline for "Special Needs" reassignment requests.  Requests received after this date will not be processed until seat availability is determined.

 

Questions regarding school choice should be directed to 927-9000, extension 32255.
