Superintendent Connor recently appeared on the *Suncoast View* to discuss Sarasota County Schools' School Choice and Controlled Open Enrollment program. Families now have the opportunity to apply for their children to attend a school outside of their designated attendance zone, depending on space availability.

Applications are open for students in grades K-12 who wish to enroll for the 2025-2026 school year. The application period runs through March 3, giving families ample time to explore their options and submit their requests.
