Schools of Choice

What is Schools of Choice?

Caro Community Schools is a Schools of Choice district. Under Schools of Choice Section 105, Caro Community Schools may enroll students from another school district within Tuscola County providing the student meets the application guidelines. Schools of Choice Section 105c, allows Caro Community Schools to enroll students from school districts outside of Tuscola County in a contiguous Intermediate School District (ISD) such as Bay, Genesee, Huron, Lapeer, Saginaw and Sanilac Counties providing the student meets the application guidelines.

Caro Schools Are A Wise Choice

The State of Michigan recognizes that parents should have choices when it comes to the education of their children.  We appreciate the choices that many parents have made in favor of the Caro Community Schools under Schools of Choice.  As a school district, we encourage parents to consider the options available for students at the Caro Community Schools.  If you are interested in having your children attend school in Caro under Schools of Choice, please call the school at 989-673-3160.

Schools of Choice allows parents/guardians to enroll their children in a neighboring public school, if they so choose.  The window of opportunity will close September 3rd so it is important to act soon.  We are pleased that two hundred students are attending the Caro Community Schools under Schools of Choice.  Here are some of the reasons these parents have made that choice:
