First Controlled Open Enrollment Application Window Opens Nov. 1

/

In accordance with Florida Statute 1002.31 and pursuant to School Board Rule 5.03, parents and guardians may apply for their students to attend any school in the state of Florida other than their zoned school if that school has available capacity. For the 2022-2023 school year, two SJCSD elementary schools and one middle school have available capacity.

Due to a recent change in legislation, there are now three application windows per school year, along with new guidelines for our Controlled Open Enrollment Program in SJCSD. The first window to apply will open on November 1, 2022, and will close on November 25, 2022.

Please visit the Controlled Open Enrollment (COE) web page for detailed information.
