We will not be accepting any New Open Enrollment Applications for the 24-25 school year, based on the decision of the November 2023 Board Meeting. We will only be accepting K-12 staff students and 6-12 currently open enrolled students.

What is open enrollment?

• A parent or guardian residing in an Ohio school district may enroll their child in a school in the Clinton-Massie Local School District without paying tuition, provided they comply with open enrollment deadlines and procedures and their student is accepted by the Clinton-Massie Local School District. This is called Inter-district open enrollment. Forms must be completed and approved for Inter-district open enrollment. At this time, this is only available for grades 6-12.

How do I apply?

• You may request an open enrollment application from our school district’s administration office or print one from our school district website.

What is the deadline for filing for open enrollment?

• Forms must be filed with the Clinton-Massie Local School District, between April 1 and April 30 of the school year preceding the school year for which open enrollment is requested. After April 30 of the same year, applications will continue to be considered. However, open enrollment is filled on a first-come, first served basis, according to space, so it is important to file your application as early as possible.
• We will begin processing current 6-12 open enrollment student applications on April 11, 2024. Please email your application and proof of residence to desiree.osborn@cmfalcons.org

Does each child need to file an application?

• Yes.

Do I need to reapply each year that my child attends school in the Clinton-Massie Local School District under open enrollment?

• Yes.

Will the district provide transportation for my child?

• Transportation is provided only within the Clinton-Massie Local School District or at our district’s designated bus stops.

Can my request be denied?

• Generally, a request can be denied if filing deadlines are not met, if there is not classroom space for the student, or if the student is under expulsion from his/her current school district.

• For the 2024-25 school year, all K-5 applications (except for staff students) will be denied due to the elementary building being at capacity due to reduced staffing.

Do we need to open enroll if we move and want to remain in this school district?

• Yes. You must file for open enrollment promptly after your move, or you may be denied.

Is there any cost involved?

• There is no tuition charge for open-enrolled children. However, parents are responsible for any and all miscellaneous fees for participation in courses, classes, or activities, the same as resident students are expected to pay.
