Open Enrollments will be processed during the summer and you will receive notification in the mail.  New requests may be placed on hold until 14 days after school starts to determine space availability. This would impact Tk and K the most and the student may have to attend the assigned home school until the process is complete.  

 

The Governing Board desires to provide options that meet the diverse needs, potential and interests of district students and shall annually review enrollment options. Students who reside within the district boundaries may apply for enrollment in any district school. The Superintendent or Designee shall determine the capacity of each district school and establish a random, unbiased selection process for the admission of students from outside a school’s attendance area. The district will not provide transportation outside the school’s attendance area if attendance is based upon a parent's request to attend a school outside the student’s attendance area. The Superintendent or Designee shall develop the necessary regulations for implementing this policy.

 

Selection Procedures

• • Open enrollment applications shall be available at all school offices.
  • Open enrollment application period shall be January 17 thru February 16, for Junior High and March 1st thru March 29th for Elementary, unless otherwise announced by the district.
  • All students who submit applications to the district by the end of the open enrollment period shall be considered for admission to their school of choice for the following school year under the district open enrollment policy. Requests submitted after the open enrollment period will be processed later in the year.
  • Enrollment in a school of choice shall be determined by space, attendance, behavioral, and/or academic conditions. If there are more requests than spaces there will be an applicant pool. A lottery shall be established to indicate the order in which students will be accepted.
  • The Superintendent or Designee shall inform applicants by mail as to whether their applications have been approved or denied. If the application is denied, the reasons for denial shall be stated in writing.
  • Applicants who receive attendance approval must confirm their enrollment within two weeks. Once attendance has commenced, students must remain at the school of choice for at least one full year, unless they no longer meet behavioral or academic conditions.
  • Schools shall be notified of students approved for open enrollment.
  • The Governing Board retains the authority to maintain appropriate racial and ethnic balances among district schools. (Education Code 35160.5)
  • Students on open enrollment will be required to apply for open enrollment transfer each year during the district open enrollment period. Transfer requests will be considered only after all students residing in the school’s attendance area have been accommodated.
  • If it becomes necessary to displace students on open enrollment at any grade level, students will be displaced in reverse order (last in, first out) of their acceptance
