Schools of Choice Program

Eligibility and Boundaries

Students residing in school districts within Ingham County and its contiguous ISDs are eligible for Schools of Choice at Haslett Public Schools. Students must be able to attend school regularly and on time. Transportation is the responsibility of parents and guardians. See the FAQ for special education eligibility outside Ingham ISD.

Available Openings

• Haslett Public Schools offers a limited number of Schools of Choice seats in each grade level.
• The number of available seats varies annually based on classroom capacity.
• The Board of Education determines specific openings by grade level each April.
• Available slots are published following the Board's decision.

Building Placement

Parents may indicate elementary building preferences on their application. While we strive to honor building preferences and keep families together at the same elementary school, final building placement decisions are based on available space.

Selection Guidelines

• If applications are fewer than available seats, all eligible students will be accepted.
• If applications exceed available seats, state law requires a random lottery selection.
• Priority is given to siblings of current Schools of Choice students.
• Students not selected through the lottery will be placed on a waiting list.
• Students with a suspension (within two years) or expulsion may be ineligible per state law.

Continuation of Enrollment

Once enrolled, students may continue at Haslett without reapplying. If a student withdraws and enrolls in another district, they forfeit their spot and must reapply during the next application period. Siblings are not guaranteed enrollment but receive preference for available slots.
