Open Enrollment

Ohio law, along with the Mad River Board of Education board policy, allows parents/guardians to enroll their children in a school within the Mad River School District rather than their district of residence by completing an open enrollment application and being approved by the incoming district.

Open enrollment applications are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, per the Mad River Local School Board Policy and application is required each school year. By policy of the Federal government, students residing in the Fairborn School District cannot attend the Mad River School District through Open Enrollment.

High school students who transfer districts through open enrollment must follow Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) rules for participating on athletic teams. Typically, athletic eligibility is determined by the school in which the student is attending during their ninth-grade year. OHSAA rules for transfer and athletic eligibility are very specific and must be followed by law.
