This means that parents of students who are assigned to a particular neighborhood school may be able to transfer their children to another school within their district. However, keep in mind that state regulations only require districts to offer open enrollment under certain circumstances such as when students want to transfer from a school with academic difficulties to one that does not have any. In most transfers to schools in a different district, the receiving school district provides transportation once the student is within the district border and can reimburse students who meet the income requirements for their trip there. For example, families in Arkansas can use open enrollment to transfer from a public school with academic difficulties to one that does not have any. Additionally, high school students who transfer may have to wait a year before participating in sports activities at their new school.
