Open Enrollment Application Process
- A student may apply for up to three campuses of their choice on one Open Enrollment application.
- Open Enrollment applications will be reviewed in the order they are received for students who meet the eligibility criteria.
- Next, to determine acceptance or denial of Open Enrollment applications, the campus principal and a Student Services Department administrator will appraise all Open Enrollment applications.
- Lastly, in a reasonable amount of time, parents/guardians will be notified through the email address provided in the student’s Open Enrollment application.

Yearly Procedures
- Each application represents one student. This is required because the student is applying for a certain vacant seat in a specific grade at a particular campus. A student currently attending a campus in Birdville ISD through Open Enrollment, will not automatically progress from one grade level to the next, whether it be at the same campus or continuing on to a new campus in the feeder pattern.
- Each student living outside of the campus attendance zone must submit an Open Enrollment application every school year.
- The student must meet all eligibility criteria each school year.
- There is no tuition fee for out-of-district applicants for the current school year. However, consideration for an Open Enrollment tuition fee for out-of-district applicants will be reviewed in subsequent years.

Potential Reasons for Revoking an Open Enrollment APPROVAL
- The campus principal may revoke a student’s Open Enrollment approval at the end of a school year based on the listed eligibility criteria, the listed reasons for denial, other items listed on Birdville ISD’s website and/or Birdville ISD handbooks, and code of conduct rules and regulations.
