All open enrollment guidelines must be met before approval is granted. Student Fees Students wishing to enroll as inter-district transfers must pay all required student fees at the time of enrollment in accordance with the District's established Student Fees, Fines and Charges Policy (See Board Policy 6152) before enrollment is considered finalized. Inter-district transfer students who fail to pay the required fees or to qualify for a waiver of such fees at the time of enrollment shall be denied admission. Students who move out of the District during the school year, and wish to remain in the District as inter• district/openly enrolled must have a zero balance before such enrollment is approved. Restrictions Applications from students may be rejected if the student has been suspended or expelled for ten (1 O) consecutive days or more during the semester of application or the preceding semester.

High School students who are credit deficient may be denied enrollment. Revocation Enrollment of an inter-district transfer student may be revoked as a result of poor attendance and/or repeated or serious violations of the student code of conduct. Poor attendance is defined as twelve (12) unexcused tardies to school and/or absences in a school year. Enrollment of an inter-district student may be revoked if it is determined that the student or the parent/guardian failed to disclose or falsified information on the inter-district/open enrollment application. Capacity Consideration for open enrollment is subject to building capacity and class or program size and limitations. The number of openings in a particular program for students from other Ohio districts will be determined by optimum size for a particular program, classroom/school building or grade level which is the number of students that can be accommodated without increasing District expenditures for staff, space or equipment. Approved open enrollments may be subject to displacement due to excessive enrollment. ln the event that the Superintendent or designee declares a program, grade level or building overcrowded, and if the District decides not to add staff, inter-district transfer students will be returned to their home districts to make space for students who officially reside in the Winton Woods City School District. These students are termed "resident native" students. The order of return will be in reverse order of enrollment - last in, first out. Enrollment Priority Enrollment priority shall be given to resident native students. Such students may not be refused attendance in the District regardless of capacity. Resident native students also include those as defined by R.C. 3313.64. Children of nonresident employees will be given the next order of priority. Children of all nonresident employees enrolled in the Winton Woods City School District shall be reported to the state as "open enrollment student(s)". ln general, all other applicants will be enrolled on a first-come, first-served basis contingent upon space availability. However, special consideration will be given to students with siblings currently enrolled in the District and resident students who move during the year and wish to remain in the District. Students approved and enrolled in a school through open enrollment may continue in the District through all grades without reapplying so long as they indicate in writing intent to remain enrolled on or before March 31st.
