2019-20 Regional School Choice Office (RSCO) School Choice Application
Deadline Is February 28


Final week to submit on-time 2019-20 school choice application, Upcoming
application assistance sessions and events


(HARTFORD, CT) – The Connecticut State Department of Education’s Regional
School Choice Office (RSCO) would like to remind parents, grandparents and
guardians of children entering prekindergarten through grade 12 that the
final week to submit an on-time school choice application for the 2019-20
academic year is next week. 

About RSCO 2019-20 Application Period:

*         The 2019-20 school choice application period opened on Thursday,
November 1, 2018 and closes on Thursday, February 28, 2019. Applications are
not first-come, first-serve.

*         Connecticut residents from Hartford and surrounding suburban areas
may apply to approximately 50 available school choice options including
those with specialized magnet themes.

*         The Hartford Region Open Choice Program is another option on the
school choice application. Hartford residents apply to attend a regional
district, non-magnet school. Non-Hartford residents apply to attend a
Hartford district non-magnet-themed school beginning in kindergarten.

*         The largest numbers of available seats tend to be in transition
grades, particularly Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grade 6 and Grade 9.

*         RSCO partners include: the Capitol Region Education Council;
Hartford Public Schools’ Host Magnet Program; the Hartford Region Open
Choice Program; Goodwin College’s Riverside Magnet School and Connecticut
River Academy; Bloomfield Public Schools’ Wintonbury Early Childhood Magnet
School and Global Experience Magnet School and East Hartford Public Schools’
Connecticut IB Academy.

“During the application period, I encourage you to gather as much
information as possible about the variety of school options that may best
suit your child,” said Glen Peterson, RSCO’s Division Director. Make an
informed decision by attending school events, school choice information
sessions, open houses and if you need assistance with your application
attend one of the remaining RSCO application assistance sessions where staff
can guide you.”
