School Choice In Tallahassee
School Choice is the policy that allows a student to go out-of-zone to another school if there is a seat available. Unfortunately, if you are hoping to go out of zone to Leon, Chiles, or Lincoln, there are no more seats available. When you apply, you will be denied and there is no possibility of an appeal, even for hardship. Here is what the Leon County Schools site has to say:
Unfortunately, appeals cannot be accepted – because THERE ARE NO EMPTY SEATS TO OFFER. Hardships are not an option for over-capacity schools, since there are no available seats. If all three of your choices were for over-capacity schools, your request was denied – and your home-zone school will be expecting your students. Because of our severe space limitations, lottery was the only fair way to decide who was approved for a seat. Thousands of requests were received — and there was simply no way all could be approved.
This means you need to do it the old-fashioned way … move so that you live inside the school zone!
