Good Options and Choices for All Families
Family choice among schools is a necessary starting place for a district that believes no child should attend a school where he or she is unlikely to learn. Students and families need to be able to choose where they attend school. Portfolio districts ensure this in two ways: 1) student assignment policies, and 2) improving options for parents.

CRPE has selected these external resources from the RSD as examples of a high quality website for parents to glean school information from and an enrollment packet from a district that provides choice to families. The enrollment packet provides a good explanation of the OneApp process and how it impacts students.
