Parent/Guardian Responsibilities
File 2008-09 Application Form with
resident and receiving district on or before March 1 of the
school year prior to the open enrollment year.
If the application is for a kindergarten student, file the
application form with both districts by September 1 of the
school year in which open enrollment is requested.
- Special Education -
Be sure to indicate whether or not the student is in a special
education program.
- Requesting a Specific School
- An attendance center may be requested with the understanding
the district doesn’t have to honor the request. Building
assignments will be reviewed each year following registration.
- Transportation - Parent/guardians
must provide transportation. To learn if you meet economic
eligibility requirements, apply with resident district for
transportation assistance.
- Changing Receiving District
(district open enrolling to) - File a petition with the
receiving district by March 1 of the prior school year.
- Change of Residence
- Notify both districts if there is a change in the residence
of the student during the open enrollment period.
- Siblings - Approval
for one child in a family does not guarantee approval for
other children in the same family. Each child in a family
must have an open enrollment request filed for him/her.
If terminating the open enrollment,
notify both districts involved in writing.
If open enrollment is denied by either the resident or receiving
district, the parent/guardian may appeal to the State Board
of Education if the request is due to repeated acts of harassment
or if the child has a serious health condition that the resident
district cannot adequately address. All other appeals must
be made to an Iowa District Court.
