Deadline Friday to Apply for School Choice

If your student is considering attending one of Hillsborough County's magnet schools or a school outside your attendance boundaries, you have until Friday, May 3 to apply.

The Hillsborough Choice Options application period for magnet programs, school choice and career and technical education programs for the 2013-14 school year ends May 3.

Students who wish to remain at their current magnet or choice school, or prefer to attend their attendance area school, do not need to complete an application.

School choice and magnet programs are available for students entering kindergarten through 11^th grade. Students currently enrolled in a Hillsborough County public school should apply directly online. Students new to Hillsborough County Public Schools can download an application from the choice options website, complete it and mail it to the address listed on the application.

Parents can call the Choice Information Line at 813-272-4692 for answers to their questions.
