For parents of students who wish to change schools before the start of the 2021-22 school year, the Williamson County Schools board of education has approved 21 open-zoned schools.

The WCS board approved the schools during its Jan. 19 meeting. Parents have until May 15 to submit a request to change schools.

To qualify for a zoning change, students must live in Williamson County, according to the district.

While several schools have been selected as open-zoned schools, each campus can only accept a set number of students to avoid capacity issues. Additionally, some campuses are only accepting students requesting to be rezoned from certain campuses.

See a list of all open-zoned WCS campuses below.
