OPEN ENROLLMENT

In accordance with state law, the District has established this open enrollment policy and implemented an open enrollment program without charging tuition for nonresident students and resident transfer students.

For purposes of this policy, a nonresident student is a state resident who resides outside of the District's boundaries but who seeks to enroll in the District. A resident transfer student is a state resident who resides in the District's boundaries but who seeks to enroll in a school outside of the student's attendance area. The process is the same for resident and non-resident transfer students. However, resident transfer students are given priority placement over non-resident transfer students.

The Superintendent shall develop and implement an administrative regulation and any other documents needed to administer the District's open enrollment program, including the District’s application process, standards for acceptance, capacity determination, enrollment priorities, transportation provisions and interscholastic eligibility.

The Open Enrollment application must be completed and submitted to the school in which the student seeks to enroll, outside of the designated school boundaries. Applications for open enrollment may be submitted to the school starting the first business day in November of any school year. Acceptance of an open enrollment student is on a year-by-year basis, however, students do not need to re-apply unless they are seeking enrollment at another school site. Building administrators will notify the parents of non-renewed open enrollment applicants by May 1st.

Failure to disclose factually accurate and truthful information on the District's Open Enrollment Application may result in revocation of the student's acceptance.
