Out of District Application Process

In order to determine the district’s capacity to accept nonresident students at each grade level in each district school, the board has adopted this policy.

Details concerning the open enrollment and continued enrollment processes for nonresident students may be found in this policy, while general processes on enrollment documentation, assignment to buildings and classes, etc., may be found in board policy JBCC. Virtual students are subject to board policy JBCC.
