Background Information About the Open Enrollment Program
In April, 2011, the Coppell ISD Board of Trustees approved the use of Open Enrollment program for the admission of elementary students who live within the City of Coppell, but outside the attendance boundaries of CISD (an area which includes, but is not limited to Coppell Greens and Riverchase). In February 2018, CISD Board of Trustees voted to expand Open Enrollment program to incoming 9th and 10th graders for New Tech High @ Coppell and in 2021 Trustees again voted to expand the program to all grades (K-12).
The change in the district's policy is intended to create greater efficiency of operations by allowing the predetermined campuses to maximize their enrollment capacity in buildings that are already being heated, cooled, and cleaned. The move could also save a few teaching positions and generate $700,000 - $1M in additional revenue for the district depending on where the legislature sets CISD’s target revenue and the number of students who apply.
The Coppell Independent School District has developed the 2021-2022 Open Enrollment New and Re-Enrollee Procedures booklet as a resource for parents who might be considering Open Enrollment program as an option for their child. In doing so, we have tried to anticipate every possible question and scenario in an effort to assist you in your decision-making. This booklet includes policies and procedures, and some frequently asked questions…all important information to know.
