Students in 4-year-old Kindergarten through Grade 12 may apply to participate in open enrollment. Parents should contact their resident school districts to determine if their preschool-aged children qualify for open enrollment.

Tuition Waiver Due to Move
If a pupil moves from one school district to another school district, the pupil’s resident school district changes as a result. In most cases, the pupil enrolls and attends school in the new resident school district. However, often the pupil wishes to continue attending the former school district. The pupil may do so under either a “tuition waiver due to a move” or public school open enrollment, or both.
