Open Enrollment Window
The intra-district open enrollment window for the 2023-24 school year has expired.
Some schools may still accept transfer applications past the due date on a special circumstance basis (as determined by school administration). Please contact the school site for availability.
Intra-District Appeals
If you do not agree with the transfer request decision, you may appeal the denial.
To protect your appeal rights, you must follow the instructions described in the Open Enrollment/Intra-District Appeal Form. If you do not respond by the required timeline (10 days after receipt of denial notice) or fail to submit the required appeal information with your appeal request, your appeal will not be considered.
The decision of the Child Welfare & Attendance Coordinator regarding any appealed intra-district transfer application shall be final and binding.
