Applications will be accepted Aug. 22-Sept. 8 for limited schools of choice openings in the Utica Community Schools district in Macomb County.
Utica Community Schools, Michigan’s second largest school district, is offering limited school of choice openings for the upcoming 2011-12 school year.
The schools in the Utica district continue to be top performers on standardized tests and are honored at both state and national levels. According to Tim McAvoy, a UCS representative, the schools of choice program allows parents that live outside the district’s boundaries to take advantage of Utica Community Schools’ award-winning programs and services.
This program is offered for kindergarten through grade 12 and is available only for Macomb residents or residents who live in communities in bordering counties that are serviced by the Macomb Intermediate School District.
