Thank you for choosing the Caldwell School District for your child's education. 

The Caldwell School District offers great school choices for families living inside or outside of the Caldwell School District boundaries. The District is committed to providing high-quality education opportunities for all students and fostering strong relationships between parents and teachers.

We recognize that some assigned school attendance areas may not meet the needs of families in our district, and some families live outside of our district boundaries and want to choose our schools for their children.

Idaho law (33-1402) allows us to offer an opportunity to apply for a change of school through open enrollment. 

New laws regarding open enrollment took effect July 1, 2023.

Caldwell School District Policy 3010P: Open Enrollment by Students who Reside Within and Outside the District - Procedures

What is Open Enrollment?

We offer open enrollment for families who:

• live within the Caldwell School District boundaries and want their child(ren) to attend a school other than the one assigned to their residential address
• live outside of the Caldwell School District boundaries and want their child(ren) to attend one of our schools

• All applications are reviewed and considered on a space-available basis at the requested school.

Please have the following documents ready to be uploaded when completing the Open Enrollment Application:

• Proof of Residency
• Transcripts and/or Latest Grades
• Attendance Records
• Discipline Records (or letter from current school administrator stating no discipline record)
• Any Special Service Plans: 504, IEP, ELP, etc.

Priority for enrollment under this section shall be given to pupils applying to attend another school within the home district. Caldwell School District may deny a transfer application for the following reasons:

• The pupil was expelled by the pupil's previous district;
• The pupil has a documented history of significant disciplinary infractions;
• The pupil has a documented history of chronic absenteeism;
• The receiving district does not have space available pursuant to section 33-1409, Idaho Code.

District policy requires that parents/guardians are responsible for transporting open-enrolled students to and from school.
