About School Choice
-
School Choice is designed to increase access to educational opportunities for all children in the state, regardless of where they live. A parent/legal guardian residing within Delaware may apply to enroll their child in a public school in any school district, charter school, magnet school, or vocational-technical school, regardless of the student’s area of residence. Any student not currently registered in a public school in the State of Delaware must be registered in their school of residence before submitting a Delaware Standard Application for Educational Options (Choice application).
-
Enrollment Period
A parent/legal guardian may apply to enroll their child in a school or program by submitting an application on the standard form provided by the Department of Education, on or after the first Monday in November and on or before the second Wednesday in January for enrollment in the following school year, except the parent/legal guardian may apply until the first day of the new school year for enrollment into a kindergarten program. If a parent/legal guardian is filing an application after the State deadline, and good cause exists for the failure to meet the deadline, the parent/legal guardian can submit an application for review with supporting documentation, as stated in Title 14, c4, §402.
