Public School Open Enrollment Timelines
The State of Wisconsin has announced the application period for open enrollment (also known as public school choice) begins in February for the following school year. Open Enrollment laws permit children to attend a public school in a school district other than the one in which they live.
Open Enrollment application forms must be submitted to the nonresident school district during the annual application period. This year, the application period is February 4-February 22, 2008 for enrollment in the 2008-09 school year. Applications must be received by the Administrative Services Office at the Educational Services Center 527 S. Franklin no later than 4:00 p.m. on February 22nd (a postmark does not constitute timely submission). Applications turned in prior to February 4th will be returned as not valid and must be resubmitted after February 4th but before February 22nd.
Enrollment in a requested school or program is subject to space and other limitations and is not guaranteed. Transportation is the responsibility of the parent.
Under School District of Janesville board policy, students who attended the district under open enrollment the previous year are not required to reapply for the following school year, unless they will be entering middle school.
An application is required for each sibling in the family. For example, if a family has one child in elementary school that has been approved for open enrollment and a new student entering kindergarten next year, the student entering kindergarten must apply for open enrollment in order to attend the School District of Janesville.
Parents will be informed in April whether their open enrollment applications have been approved or denied. The student’s school or program placement will be provided in May.
Applications are available after January 10, 2008 from the Administrative Services Office at the Educational Services Center, 527 S. Franklin St. If you have questions, please contact the Administrative Services Office at 743-5006.
