What is Open Enrollment?

The Public School Open Enrollment program is a statewide program that allows students grades K-12 to attend a public school in a district other than the one in which they reside.

Any Wisconsin resident in 4K to grade 12 may apply to up to three nonresident school district under the open enrollment program in any school year. However, a child may transfer to a nonresident school district for early childhood education or 4K only if the child’s resident school district offers the same type of program and only if the child is eligible for that program in the resident school district.
