How to Enroll:
The state of Iowa provides parents and guardians the option to enroll their students in a public school district that's different from their own district of residence. All it takes is filling out an open enrollment application.
Please send open enrollment forms to:
Iowa City Community School District
Attn: Open Enrollment
1725 North Dodge Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52245Just to clarify: Open enrollment requests allow you to enroll your student in a school district different from the district in which you live. Voluntary transfers, on the other hand, are when parents request for their student(s) to attend a school within their same district that isn't their assigned neighborhood school.
