This program is open to all families residing within one of the twenty (20) Kent ISD school districts. Students are eligible for the Kent ISD Choice Plan, regardless of grade level, ethnic background or student ability. The only limits on movement between school districts are the number of spaces available in each district or the student's suspension or expulsion record.
