OPEN ENROLLMENT
Crane Elementary School District is an open enrollment district according to the provisions set forth in Arizona Revised Statutes §15-816 and District Governing Board Policy JFB. Specifics regarding this policy are available at the District Office.
Open Enrollment enables Arizona students to attend public schools outside their attendance area. In accordance with state law, the District has established an open enrollment policy and implemented an open enrollment program without charging tuition for non-resident students and resident transfer students, so long as they are residents of Arizona. Open enrollment applications are available online.
Student Definitions
- Resident transfer student is a student who resides within the boundaries of Crane Elementary School District and is enrolled in or seeking enrollment in a school that is within the school district but outside the attendance area of the student's residence.
- Nonresident student means a student who resides in this state and outside the boundaries of Crane Elementary School District and is enrolled in or seeking enrollment in a school district other than the school district in which the student resides.
District resident students may enroll in another school district or in another school within this District. Resident transfer students and nonresident students may enroll in schools within this District, subject to the procedures contained in the documents below.
Enrollment Capacity
The table below illustrates the enrollment capacity, by grade level.
Any cells coded with a "N/A" represent those schools where specific grade level(s) are not provided at that school and therefore, capacity is not applicable.
Those cells with a White X inside a Red Circle represent grade levels where capacity is met and interested students would be placed on a waiting list.
Cells with a White Checkmark in a Green Circle indicate those grades/areas where capacity exists.
Program capacities for the school are set by the Governing Board each May, for the following school year, pursuant to Governing Board Policy JFB. Program capacities take into account the total physical capacity of the school less any classrooms that may be utilized for special area content instruction at the school, district-wide programs such as exceptional student services and English language learners, early childhood development (preschool), and the Crane iLearning Academy, as examples.
