Open Enrollment
For the 2023-24 school year, the State of Tennessee adopted legislation Public Law 479 stating how school districts must consider zone exemption requests. Following the guidelines of this law, Bedford County Schools will conduct the open enrollment process from May 1 – May 31, 2023. During this time, a parent or guardian of a student may seek to transfer their child to an open zoned school for the 2023-24 school year if there is availability.
Open Enrollment Applications submitted during this open enrollment process time frame are subject to approval through a lottery system, if more students apply than available seats, as directed by this new state law. To ensure your application is considered, it is important to submit your application between May 1 – May 31, 2023. The open enrollment application will be approved based on the open seats listed below.
