What is public school choice under NCLB?
NCLB’s public school choice option is meant to increase the number of choices for families whose children attend Title I schools that are “in need of improvement.” In Title I “schools in need of improvement,” parents have special rights and responsibilities. These rights and responsibilities include public school choice—the opportunity to choose the public school they believe is the best place for their child. Please see the document, The ABC’s of NCLB (PDF) for more guidance on this issue.
