OPEN ENROLLMENT
Kansas state law allows nonresident students to enroll in USD 327 schools if the Board's capacity determination finds there are open seats for such students. In order to determine the District's capacity to accept nonresident students, the USD 327 Board of Education has adopted Board Policy Enrollment of Nonresident Students JBCC .
Applications will be accepted for nonresident students from January 1st to June 15th of each year for the following school year. If the number of applications is greater than the available capacity for a grade level, district administration shall accept students based on priority enrollment status first. If capacity remains after accepting priority enrollment students, the administration will randomly select nonresident student applicants for enrollment using a confidential lottery process that will be completed on or before July 15 of each year.
Each student will be notified in writing of approval/disapproval by the District. Parents/Guardians must acknowledge receipt of acceptance and student placement within five (5) business days from the date of notification or the nonresident enrollment will be denied.
Nonresident students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade who were enrolled prior to the adoption of JBCC (June 2023), will be allowed continued enrollment as nonresident students in accordance with policy JBCC as long as they remain in good standing.
