In response to the confusion parents expressed about school choice during the listening campaign for our 2017 report, Calculated Choices, the Fund worked with an experienced school counselor and a parent to develop a workshop to help parents and students navigate the school choice process. Workshops are available to groups of three or more City Schools parents or students at a time and location convenient for them. During the 2019-2020 school year, the Fund also piloted a school choice program in partnership with James McHenry Elementary/Middle School to ensure their 7th and 8th graders were well-informed and prepared for the school choice process.

For the 2020-2021 school year, we hosted virtual workshops for organizations and schools. Please scroll down to find helpful resources related to the school choice process. To request a workshop at your school, please click below to fill out the form.
