Open Enrollment Capacity

Yuma School District One’s open enrollment policy allows any Arizona student to apply for admission to any district school that has capacity. Factors considered in determining capacity include, but are not limited to:

  • Physical capacity of the school and classrooms
  • Availability of staff
  • Capacity in relevant special programs
  • Availability of other resources

    FAQs

    Does the district give enrollment preference or reserve capacity for any students?

    The district shall give enrollment preference to and reserve capacity for all of the following:

    • Resident students
    • Students returning to the same school from the prior year
    • Siblings of students already enrolled

    The district may give enrollment preference to children who:

    • Are in foster care
    • Meet the definition of unaccompanied youth prescribed in the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (P.L. 100-77; 101 Stat. 482; 42 United States Code Section 11434a)
    • Attend a school that is closing

    The district may give enrollment preference to and reserve capacity for all of the following:

    • Students who are children of persons who are employed by or at a school in the district
    • Resident transfer students and their siblings
    • Students who meet additional criteria established and published by the governing board
    Do I need to reapply for open enrollment each school year?
    • If your child will continue at the same school, you do not need to reapply for open enrollment each school year.
    • All incoming sixth graders living outside a middle school’s boundaries must reapply for open enrollment, regardless of their open enrollment status at their elementary school.
    The school year has begun and we have moved outside of the school’s attendance boundaries. Do I need to apply for open enrollment this school year?

    If a student moves out of their school’s attendance boundary during the school year, he/she may continue attending that school for the remainder of the school year. However, you must apply for open enrollment for the upcoming school year.

    Where can I find the district’s complete open enrollment policy?
