Open Enrollment Information


The Boise School District understands that some parents and guardians may wish to enroll their child in a school outside of their designated neighborhood school—whether from within or outside the district. If you are considering Open Enrollment, please carefully review the information and instructions below before submitting an application.

Application Process

Before applying for Open Enrollment, you are encouraged to first register your child at their designated (boundary) school.

Please note that submission of an application does not guarantee approval. All Open Enrollment requests are subject to review and space availability.

Steps to Apply:

  1. Review Board Policy 3113 – Open Enrollment
    Familiarize yourself with the district's Open Enrollment policies as outlined in Board Policy 3113.

  2. Complete the Open Enrollment Application and Contract (Now accepting applications for the 2025 2026 school year only.  The application for the 2026 2027 school year will open on February 1, 2026).

  3. Assistance with the Application
    If you need help completing the application, please visit the front office of the school you're requesting or any Boise School District school for support.

  4. Additional Documentation Required (If Not Currently Enrolled in BSD)
    If your child is currently attending an out-of-district school, charter school, private school, or is homeschooled, the following documents must be submitted with your application:

    • Behavior/Discipline Record

    • Attendance Record

    Important: Applications will not be processed without these documents. If you are unable to upload them with the online application, please contact the school and arrange to deliver the documents directly to the school's office.
