Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment (Between two NCSD schools and/or into NCSD)

Open Enrollment

The Oregon legislature established Open Enrollment between school districts to support school choice beginning in the 2012-2013 school year. The original statute allowing Open Enrollment ends with the 2018-2019 school year. 2018-2019 Open Enrollment closed on April 1, 2018 statewide. Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, Open Enrollment is no longer allowed under state law. 

Oregon will require that anyone requesting to transfer to a non-resident district be released by the resident district before requiring placement from the preferred district. This is called an "Interdistrict Transfer" and information can be found here.

If my child was accepted under Open Enrollment, can he or she stay?

Yes. If your child was previously accepted under open enrollment, they may stay through graduation unless they enroll in another district. If your child enrolls in another district, they may no longer return under Open Enrollment.
