Controlled Open Enrollment is Open through April 28!

The process of controlled open enrollment gives students throughout Florida an opportunity to attend a school other than their zoned school. During controlled open enrollment, families seeking additional choice options can apply for placement in any school in the state that has not reached capacity and still has seats available.

Applications must be submitted online through Parent Portal. The deadline to submit an application is Friday, April 28.
