2010-2011
This State of Florida program allows parents and guardians whose students were enrolled in 2009-2010 and/or assigned for 2010-2011 to a failing school to attend a higher-performing school. A failing school is one that has received a failing grade twice within a four-year period.

Procedures: If a school is designated as failing, the student's parent or guardian is notified by mail. If the parent chooses to participate in the Opportunity Scholarship Program, the parent must submit an application. The parent may choose one of the following options:
- Parent or guardian may choose to have their student remain in the current or projected school.
- Transfer the student to another public school that has been graded 'C' or higher. The School Choice Office will offer a choice of schools based on the address of the student's parent or guardian. This information will be posted on duvalchoice.com. The parent must fill out an Opportunity Scholarship Program Student Transfer Application and return it to the School Choice office by the advertised deadline. The original application must be either mailed or brought to the School Choice office before the deadline.
- Transfer the student to another public school that has been graded 'C' or higher that is NOT in Duval County. It is the parent's responsibility to contact the other school district to determine if that district will accept the student based on that district's adopted criteria. If accepted by the other school district, the parent must contact the School Choice Office at 390-2144 to obtain a release from Duval County. Transportation to the other school district will be the parent's responsibility.
