    Public School Choice is the practice of allowing all families to make meaningful decisions about how and where their children will receive a primary and secondary education from a variety of public schools and programs. In Florida, Public School Choice options may include, but not be limited to, controlled open enrollment, charter schools, alternative schools, special programs, advanced placement, dual enrollment, International Baccalaureate, virtual school, home school and CTE Academies. Public School Choice options are also encompassed in the Opportunity Scholarship Program and the McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program.

    **In-District Students: For students currently enrolled in a public school managed by the School District of Osceola County, no further action is required; all records will be transferred internally. However, schools may request a new registration form to update contact information.
