OPEN ENROLLMENT

 

Irvine Unified School District has designated attendance areas for each of its schools; however, an OPEN ENROLLMENT POLICY is maintained whereby parents and students may elect to attend any school within the District. The conditions which restrict this policy are:

  1. There must be space available at that particular school where student attendance is desired.
  2. Transportation will be the responsibility of the parent.
  3. Students who elect to begin a given academic year at a school other than their neighborhood school may be refused enrollment at the neighborhood school for the balance of the same academic year due to restricted space availability.
  4. The district reserves the right, at any given school or any given year, to approve open enrollment on an annual basis only.
  5. Once enrolled under this policy, a student is given priority consideration for continuing enrollment at the school (assuming continued residence in the district).
  6. For each academic year, priority consideration over all other open enrollment applicants shall be extended to the siblings of students concurrently or formerly enrolled at a given school under this policy.

It is the intent of the open enrollment policy to provide parents and students the opportunity to choose from among the many alternatives within the District's programs and facilities.
