their child attend a school of residence. Enrollment is contingent on
procedures of Board Policy and Regulations 5116.1
If you are interested in your child attending a school other than
your home school for the next school year, please request an Open
Enrollment form from your school office beginning January 20,
2015 and submit your request by April 30, 2015. There is no need
to complete a form if your child is already on Open Enrollment.
