2024-2025 Controlled Open Enrollment Application Requirements
Applications will only be accepted during the application window. Once the window has closed, all applications will be randomly numbered with the assistance of a computer program.
Available seats will then be assigned to the applicants for that school starting at 1 and ending at the total number of seats available (Lottery system)
Transportation must be provided by the parent for all approved requests.
Parent must complete a separate application for each COE school to which the student would request consideration.
There will be strict adherence to all stated deadlines.
Parent must receive and accept in writing an APPROVED COE transfer from the Highlands County School District's Department of Student Support Services.
Parent agrees that a transfer may be rescinded at any time during the school year if the student doesn't maintain passing grades, good attendance, appropriate behavior, or if the student is chronically tardy to school
