The Choice Program began in 1998 as a result of Public Act 97-290 enacted by the legislature of the State of Connecticut. The Capitol Region Education Council is one of the six statewide Regional Education Service Centers designated by the State of Connecticut to administer a Choice program.

The Hartford Region Choice Program currently serves 935 students who attend schools throughout the Capitol Region. In addition to facilitating the student placement process, the Hartford Region Choice program provides transportation for students enrolled in the program.

The Choice Program was developed using the model of Project Concern a successful and long-term project run by the Hartford Board of Education.
