Iowa Department of Education

Answer:
The form to be used is available from the district of residence. The form is also available via the Department’s web site at www.state.ia.us/educate/ecese/asis/ oeindex.html. At that web site, the viewer will find an Open Enrollment handbook (including the application form) available in HTML, Word, and PDF format. The completed form must be filed with both the receiving district and the district of residence by March 1 of the year preceding the school year for which open enrollment is desired. If the district of residence has a desegregation plan, the application must be filed with only the resident district. 281 Iowa Administrative Code rule 17.3(3).
