Open Enrollment is a process through which in-district and out-of-district students may apply to a Birdville ISD campus other than the one they are zoned to attend based on their residential address. Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis and require approval by the campus principal and an administrator in the Student Services Department.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Birdville ISD is accepting Open Enrollment applications for in-district and out-of-district students for the 2021–22 school year. The following information is intended for, and will be implemented at, all Birdville ISD campuses.

For the 2021–22 school year:

• A currently enrolled prekindergarten student will be required to return to their home campus for their kindergarten school year.
• In-district students currently in kindergarten through fifth grade may apply for Open Enrollment at any campus within Birdville ISD.
• A student who is currently in the sixth grade and applying for Open Enrollment must declare a high school campus to attend for the ninth- through 12th-grade school years on the Open Enrollment application. The student may choose to either:
  • Remain in their current (Open Enrollment) feeder pattern; or
  • Return to their zoned high school campus.
• Per Birdville ISD Board policy, exceptions are made if:
  • The student currently attends the campus; or
  • The parent is a Birdville ISD employee; or
  • The student has an older sibling who will attend the same campus during the initial Open Enrollment year; and
  • The student meets all eligibility criteria.
• All grade levels are open to all BISD students at their zoned feeder pattern campus.
