Open Choice is a program in which Connecticut students can attend schools in local public school districts outside the community in which they reside. Specifically, the Open Choice program allows students in more urban districts to attend public schools in nearby suburban districts, and it provides an opportunity for students in suburban and rural communities to attend public schools in a nearby urban center.
