Open Enrollment Application Information
The Public School Open Enrollment program is a statewide program that allows students grades K-12 to attend a public school in a district other than the one in which they reside if space is available. Parents may request that a child be enrolled in a specific school or program. However, parents should be aware that those requests are not guaranteed and are subject to the availability of space and certain other limitations.
Transportation is the responsibility of the parent. Reimbursement of some transportation cost is available for low-income parents whose children are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches under the federal school lunch program.
INTERNAL TRANSERS
Please contact your current building secretary or principal for any inquiries about internal transfers.
Notice to all Current Open Enrollment Parents
If you have a child who is currently enrolled through Open Enrollment there is no need to reapply for that child.
