Open Enrollment Procedures

Join our Believers, Achievers, and Suceeders

Open Enrollment is the process by which a parent or guardian residing in an Iowa district may enroll their child(ren) into another Iowa school district under the terms and conditions of Iowa Code 282.18 and Iowa Administrative Code 281-17.

Parents may request a specific attendance center (school), but the building assignment is at the discretion of the receiving district. Parents should be aware that the receiving district may have certain activity eligibility restrictions for open enrolled students. 

Parents are responsible for transporting children that are open enrolled to another district. Parents/guardians of open-enrolled students, whose income falls below 160% of the federal poverty guidelines, are eligible for transportation assistance. 

To open enroll your child(ren) in the Sioux City Community School District, please complete and send the Iowa Open Enrollment Application to Lynn Foster, Associate Superintendent Administrative Assistant.

If you have questions regarding the open enrollment program, please call 712-279-6083.
