If students desire to return to their neighborhood school, they must apply for open enrollment at that school. Students who don t meet eligibility criteria for participation in a particular program, including age, course prerequisites and desired level of performance, may be denied open enrollment. The district may not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, ethnic group, religion or disability in open enrollment decisions. If more students apply than there are spaces available in a particular school, admission will be based on random selection. Siblings of students already attending the school are considered first, and preference for all schools and programs is given to Jefferson County residents.
Charter schools have their own application procedures.
Charter schools approved by the Board of Education are Collegiate Academy of Colorado, Center for Discovery Learning, Compass Montessori, Excel Academy, Jefferson Academy, Lincoln Academy, Magnet School for the Deaf, Montessori Peaks Academy and Woodrow Wilson Academy.
