Northwest ISD officials announced Feb. 2 that the district will have limited open enrollment to students who live outside of district boundaries for the 2026-27 school year.
The details
The program is limited to campuses with space available to bring in new students, according to a district release. The following aspects are part of the NISD limited open enrollment program:
- Students accepted to a Northwest ISD school must meet academic, attendance and behavioral standards.
- Students accepted into the program are considered NISD students and will have access to the same academic and extra-curricular offerings.
- District academies are excluded from this program since they are considered separate programs.
- Since this is a limited open enrollment program, only certain campuses are being considered to take on new students. This will be reviewed annually, with space set aside for students who are predicted to move into the district.
Families will be notified of their students’ acceptance into the program by April 1, then have two weeks to contractually agree to enter the program.
