In Michigan, individual school districts can elect to participate in school choice programs. In participating districts, families may attend the public school of their choice outside their home district. The district also determines the extent of their participation, such as what grades or programs allow for school choice. Other public school options in the state include charter and magnet schools. As for nonpublic options, families can choose from one of Michigan’s 900 private schools or elect to homeschool. Homeschooling families are not required to notify the state.
