P-CCS Board Of Education Approves A Second Application Round For Limited Schools Of Choice Program For 2020-21 School Year

Press release from Plymouth-Canton Schools:

New opportunity for Kindergarten through 10th Grade students from Wayne County, and from districts located in contiguous counties, to join P-CCS

The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Board of Education passed a limited Schools of Choice resolution Tuesday, May 12, opening up a minimum of one seat for Kindergarten through 10th Grade with a maximum of 200 seats for the 2020-21 school year. For the fourth consecutive year, the district will enroll students through the school of choice provisions in Section 105 and 105c, which means that families from Wayne County and all surrounding counties (Washtenaw, Macomb, Oakland, Monroe) are welcome to apply. This is the second application round for the district this year, following the application process that took place in March-April, 2020.

The online School of Choice application window will be open from Thursday, June 18 to Friday, July 17 and can be found at www.pccsk12.com beginning on June 18 at midnight. All applications will be considered after the July 17 deadline; the application window closes at 11:59 p.m. EST on that day. The actual number of School of Choice students enrolled into P-CCS from outside of the District will depend on availability.

Applicants that are siblings of current P-CCS School of Choice students will be given sibling preference according to state law, as long as the applicant is a student entering Kindergarten through 10th grade for the 2020-21 school year.

Like previous School of Choice programs, this addition will not displace any current resident P-CCS students.

More details and important dates regarding the application process for both the intra-district process and the limited School of Choice program for non-resident families will be available in the near future at the official Plymouth-Canton Schools website found at www.pccsk12.com, as well as all of the District’s social media outlets.
