Public school open-enrollment period starts Monday

You have the option to switch school districts if you so choose, beginning on Monday when the open enrollment period begins.

 

Through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's open enrollment process, parents can apply to up to three nonresident school districts and an unlimited number of virtual charter schools as a part of the open enrollment period, which first started for the 1998-1999 school year. Last year, more than 73,000 students from 4K to 12th grade participated in the program, according to the Appleton Post-Crescent. Locally, Luxemburg-Casco saw the most gains from the program last year, seeing 262 transfers in compared to just 66 out. Other school districts like Kewaunee (31 in, 114 out), Algoma (40 in, 85 out), Gibraltar (30 in, 26 out), Sturgeon Bay (186 in, 225 out), Sevastopol (153 in, 91 out), and Southern Door (114 in, 139 out) saw far less movement. While geography, compared to more urban areas, plays a role, Sturgeon Bay School District Superintendent  Dan Tjernagel says the programming and collaborative nature of the schools also causes many families to stay put unless they move or jobs change.

You can apply here for open enrollment until 4 p.m. on April 30th.
