    Open Enrollment for Out-of-District Families

    Enrollment in Olathe Public Schools is open to non-resident students at schools with available space, as outlined in Kansas House Bill 2567. The bill requires school districts to allow non-residents to enroll if there are open seats in the district. View the district's policy JBCC on open enrollment. 

    Dates to Know

    • Non-resident Applications Open: Jan. 1-June 15, 2025
    • District Enrollment Capacity Determined: On or before May 1, 2025
    • Non-resident Open Enrollment Applications Reviewed: June 16-20, 2025

    Transportation will not be provided for students attending a school outside their attendance boundaries. Once admitted through the non-resident open enrollment process, students may continue attending Olathe schools from kindergarten through 12th grade, provided they maintain good standing. Eligibility to participate in Kansas State High School Activities Association activities for open enrollment students will be determined by KSHSAA policies.
