The term “school choice” means families have an additional opportunity to choose the schools their child will attend as an alternative to a neighborhood school in their home district. The Regional School Choice Office provides families with the option to submit an application to magnet schools in the Greater Hartford Region for children in grades PreK-3 to grade 12.

2. APPLY Step 2: Apply — Frequently Asked Questions about School Choice 30
Frequently Asked Questions About School Choice
Eligibility Who is eligible to apply to RSCO School Choice? Parents/guardians with a child who resides in Connecticut at the time of application. A post office box (P.O. Box) cannot be used to prove Connecticut residency.
Grade Levels What grade levels are available? All grade levels are available, however, the largest number of placement offers are for the entry-level grades for each school or program. The entry-level grades are: Pre-K age 3, Pre-K age 4, kindergarten, grade 6, and grade 9.
What happens if my child “stays back” in his/her grade or I enter the wrong grade level on the application? Grade-level changes reported to RSCO after the January 31, 2020 On-Time Application deadline will result in RSCO placing the child at the end of the waitlist for the correct grade for each school choice listed on the application.
Siblings/Twins/Multiples How do I submit an application for siblings/twins/multiples? If you wish to have your children, who are siblings/twins/multiples, placed together in the same school, you will need to do the following: • Submit a separate on-time application for each child; • Select the same exact schools or districts in the same exact order of preference starting with the first choice. RSCO will verify all siblings/twins/multiples as part of the application process. Note: RSCO makes every effort to seat siblings together.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals Is my child eligible for free or reduced-price lunch? Meal eligibility is based on different factors such as household income or size, someone in the household qualifying for SNAP or TFA benefits, or a child’s status is a legal ward of the state and a foster child. Placement in a school choice program should not affect eligibility for free and reduced-price meals.
Special Education, 504 Plans, and English Learner Services* If my child requires or may require special education, accommodations under Section 504, or English learner services, can I submit a RSCO school choice application? Yes. If the parent/guardian enrolls their child in the Hartford Region Open Choice Program or a magnet school, the child will have the same access to the appropriate support services as required by law. * Parents/guardians of all new students enrolling for the first time and all re-enrolling students who have not previously attended a Connecticut public school must complete a Home Language Survey (HLS) at the time of enrollment. This may result in the child taking a screening exam. Neither the survey nor the exam are conditions of enrollment. The only purpose of this process is to determine the student’s eligibility for ESL or bilingual programs. The child should be enrolled first before administering the assessment.

• Submitting a RSCO School Choice Application does not guarantee every child will receive a placement offer. • Only one (1) RSCO School Choice Application will be accepted per child per School Choice season. • Families cannot submit an on-time application and a late application for the same child per School Choice season. All duplicate applications will be deleted and only the first application submitted for each child will be considered. • To apply to an Agricultural Science and Technology Education (ASTE) school, applicants must submit a separate application, available at https://portal.ct.gov/sde-ASTE-apply. A RSCO application cannot be submitted for an ASTE school. • Misrepresenting application information or altering registration documents will result in the deletion of the application and/or placement offer.

RESPOND Step 3: Respond — Responding to a RSCO Placement Offer or Waitlist Notification 36
Responding to a RSCO Placement Offer or Receiving a Waitlist Notification
The Regional School Choice Placement Process will be conducted in the spring of 2020. RSCO will send a notification to the primary email address and telephone number listed on your child’s RSCO application. Parents/guardians will be notified of either a Placement Offer or a Waitlist. The RSCO Placement Process ends on September 30, 2020.
1. Parents/guardians must respond to either a placement offer or a waitlist by the deadline listed in the RSCO email notification. Respond by selecting the link embedded in the email notification or by visiting choice education.org and selecting “Respond to a RSCO Placement or Waitlist”.
2. Parents/guardians must log in to their RSCO account with the email and password used to create the application.
3. View placements and/or waitlists and either accept or decline your placement offer or “hold” your CTECS Placement Opportunity*” by the deadline provided in your RSCO notification.
4. After accepting a CTECS Placement Opportunity or an Open Choice or Magnet Placement Offer, follow these next steps for registering at a technical high school, magnet school, or Open Choice Program/district: Technical High School Placement Opportunity Open Choice Program Magnet School
Begin the registration process for a technical high You will receive a You are required to school by completing the CTECS registration “Welcome” email from contact the magnet form online at http://cttech.org/about/ the Open Choice school directly rscohartfordadmission.htm. Program Office that will by the deadline provide instructions for provided in the As part of the registration process, the technical the district registration RSCO notification high school will request the records from the process. email and begin the school in which your child is presently enrolled. registration process. If your child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan, a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) or 504 meeting will take place once your child’s records are received to determine what special education and/or related aids and services the student needs in the CTECS environment. Upon enrollment, the CTECS will ensure that needed services are provided to the student and that the student receives a free appropriate public education (FAPE). In order to ensure appropriate supports are in place, these meetings must occur before enrollment at a technical high school. In limited instances, a Section 504 or PPT meeting may determine that the CTECS is not an appropriate placement for a student to receive a FAPE.
Accepting a placement offer does not automatically register your child in the Open Choice Program or magnet school. Complete the registration process for your child at the new school or district.
Failure to register your child by the deadline indicated in either the Open Choice “Welcome” email or the magnet school placement notification will result in the removal of your child’s placement offer. Step 3: Respond — Responding to a RSCO Placement Offer or Waitlist Notification 37
Responding to a RSCO Placement Offer or Receiving a Waitlist Notification
5. After declining a technical high school placement opportunity, Open Choice or Magnet School Placement Offer or failing to respond by the deadline, your child’s application will removed from all other waitlists and he/she will not receive another placement offer. Note: If you chose the “All Magnet” or “All District” option, your child’s application will remain on the waitlist for the schools listed on your RSCO Application.
6. After Placing a CTECS Placement Opportunity on “hold”, follow these next steps: If you applied to CTECS and receive a CTECS Placement Opportunity, and you also applied to another Choice opportunity at a Magnet School or Open Choice Program, you have the option to “hold” this CTECS offer for a limited time. The “hold” option expires 14 days after the first notification is sent to you stating that your child has received a Magnet or Open Choice Placement Offer, or that they have been Waitlisted for those choices. Sometime after electing to “hold” your CTECS Placement Opportunity, you will receive an email notifying you whether your child has received a Placement Offer, or a Waitlist Offer at a Magnet or Open Choice Program. Within 14 days of that email, even if it is a Waitlist Offer, you have the option to choose one action, either: a. Accept the new Magnet or Open Choice Program Placement or Waitlist Offer; or b. Accept the CTECS Placement Opportunity you originally received. Please note: You cannot accept both opportunities and you cannot continue to “hold” your CTECS Placement Opportunity, even if your child received a Waitlist Offer for the Magnet or Open Choice Programs. If you elect to accept the Magnet or Open Choice Program Placement or Waitlist Offer, you will forfeit your child’s CTECS Placement Opportunity.
7. Waitlist Notification: If you do not receive a placement offer, you will be notified that your child has been placed on a waitlist for the schools selected in your application. Once on the waitlist, you will receive additional information regarding next steps.
