Replacing a "patchwork" system of 17 different applications, the Camden City School District on Tuesday rolled out a better way of getting kids into school.

Camden Enrollment is a website that will allow parents to research which school would be the best fit for their children. The new effort replaces the current system that had rolling deadlines over a nine-month period, school district officials said.

"As a parent, I know that finding the right school for my child is absolutely critical. As superintendent, I know that helping parents access the best option for their child will benefit students and schools," said Superintendent Paymon Rouhanifard, who noted in an August interview that addressing enrollment was on the horizon.

"I'm grateful that our partners and our community have come together to develop a system that ensures all schools serve all our students and families," he added.
