Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment is the process by which parents/guardians residing in an Iowa district may enroll their children into another Iowa school district under the terms and conditions of Iowa Code section 282.18 and 281–Iowa Administrative Code 17.

Parents/guardians may apply for open enrollment at any time and are encouraged to do so early. Lewis Central may deny an open enrollment request if one of the following applies:

• The application violates the district’s insufficient classroom space policy
• The district does not have the appropriate special education program
• The student has been expelled or suspended

If a parent/guardian moves and wishes for their student to continue at Lewis Central under open enrollment, the request should be submitted as soon as the child moves to another resident district in Iowa.
