Non-Resident Enrollment Process (K-9)

Families that do not live within the boundaries of USD 207 may apply for enrollment as non-residents. New non-residents are defined as students in grades K through 9th who do not meet the definition of a resident student. (Non-resident students are not eligible to attend USD 207 three-year-old and four-year-old preschool programs.)

Enrollment as a non-resident student in USD 207 is not guaranteed. Per Board Policy, approvals are determined based on numerous decision points, including but not limited to:

"The nonresident student will not be permitted to enroll if any additional personnel (i.e. general education teachers, special education teachers, nurses, paraprofessionals for general education classrooms, paraprofessionals for special education classrooms, specialists) would need to be hired or if the student requires an educational setting not available in the district."

Please refer to USD 207 Board of Education Enrollment Policy, JBC for non-resident student enrollment eligibility criteria and additional decision points.
