Open-enrollment placement will be determined on a space-available, program-by-program basis. Each participating open-enrollment program may choose whether or not to accept students for the next school year. Discipline and other considerations are factors in granting open enrollment requests. Denied candidates may re-submit a request at the next open enrollment application period. Parents of open-enrollment students are responsible for transportation to and from schooL.
