Open Enrollment is the process by which parents/guardians residing in an Iowa district may enroll their children into another Iowa school district under the terms and conditions of section 282.18 and the administrative rules of the Iowa Department of Education, 281 Iowa Administrative Code, Chapter 17. The stated goal of Open Enrollment is “to permit a wide range of educational choices for children enrolled in schools of this state and to maximize ability to use those choices.” The Department of Education’s web site pertaining to Open Enrollment can be found here.
