The purpose of this page is to explain Open Enrollment, describe the policy and process used by EMID 6067, and give other clarifying information related to Open Enrollment.

Definition: Open Enrollment is the process used by students to apply for enrollment in a school district in which they do not reside. It is designed to give all families the opportunity to select the best educational experience for their children. This enrollment option encourages parents/guardians to become knowledgeable about the needs and interests of their children and more informed about what educational programs schools are offering.

Process for Open Enrolling Into East Metro Integration District #6067: Applications for Open Enrollment are linked to the right and are also available in the East Metro Integration District Office located at 30 East County Road B, Maplewood, MN 55117. To have the greatest opportunity for open enrollment placement at the beginning of any school year, applications must be received in the district office no later than January 15 of that same calendar year. After initially notifying families that the application has been received, EMID 6067 will notify families by February 15 about the status of their application and whether there is space available for their child(ren) to attend EMID 6067 schools through Open Enrollment. Parents/guardians of students who have been accepted must notify the EMID District Office by March 1 to confirm enrollment of their child(ren) in EMID 6067 schools. Once a student is accepted for Open Enrollment by the non-resident district, he/she need not re-apply to continue enrollment in the district. When there are more applications for Open Enrollment than space available, by School Board Policy priority for space is given to applicants who already have sibling(s) enrolled in EMID 6067 schools. All remaining applications are put into a lottery and randomly selected to fill the remaining available spaces.

Definition of Space Available in EMID 6067: Space is available to Open Enrollment students if, without compromising the integrity of the educational experience, there is room for more students in a class, program, or building. Decisions for determining whether space is available will be made administratively.

Designated District Persons: Principals and guidance counselors are available in each school for parents and students to discuss the Open Enrollment process and their reasons for considering a change in enrollment. Mary Ojile is the designated Open Enrollment Specialist in the Superintendent's office and is available to families considering a change in enrollment.
