Open Choice
The goal of Open Choice is to reduce racial, ethnic and economic isolation. Families in the Greater New Haven area are given opportunities to enroll their children in schools with available openings in a variety of grade levels. ACES is one of three Regional Educational Service Centers that oversees this effort in Connecticut.
ACES collects data on available seats in our area, manages the application and selection process, manages the transportation of those selected students, and works to support the students, families, teachers and administrators who participate in the program.
The Open Choice Program is administered by Area Cooperative Educational Services for the New Haven area. If you have questions please contact the following staff members:
