Application Regulation

One application per student, per year may be submitted to one school district. You may indicate a second choice and third choice on your application. (If you apply to more than one district, you may be disqualified for all districts that year.)

Application Lottery

If more applications are received in a district than openings are available, there will be a random lottery drawing for all applications received prior to the deadline. If your application is not selected by your first choice district, they will automatically forward your application to your second and/or third choice districts.

Waiting lists will be created at choice districts after the lottery/random draw and parents will be notified if spaces become available.

Athletic Regulations

According to the Michigan High School Athletic Association students accepted into the Schools of Choice program who are in grades 10 – 12 will not be eligible to participate in sports for one semester – until the second half of the school year.

Application Acceptance

Accepted students must agree to comply with choice districts policies.

Transportation is NOT provided for Schools of Choice students. Parents must provide their own transportation to and from school for children accepted for enrollment through the Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice Plan.

Once accepted you will be allowed continuous enrollment in that district until graduation, until you withdraw from that district, or until you reside outside of Kent ISD, at which time you must return to your resident district.

Siblings of students currently attending under the Schools of Choice Program will be assigned to open spots before a random draw begins. Students who reside in the same household as students enrolled in the immediately preceding school year, semester or trimester will be considered “siblings” for the purpose of Schools of Choice.

The only limit on movement between school districts for an applicant to the Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice Plan is the space available in the desired district and/or the choice student’s suspension or expulsion record.
