Controlled Open Enrollment

Flagler Schools CampusFlorida students have school choice options available to them through a process called Controlled Open Enrollment (COE). The goal of COE is to promote family involvement, and ensure that students have access to a school that meets their needs. Students can request a transfer to a school that is not their zoned school, including public schools in other counties.

During the annual COE period, families can apply for placement in any school in the state that has not reached capacity and still has seats available. All Controlled Open Enrollment requests for Flagler Schools will be monitored for class size as per Florida’s Constitutional Amendment. Schools that are labeled “Frozen Due to Capacity” have reached their total permanent capacity.

COE Applications
COE applications have closed for the 2022–23 school year.

If the number of requests exceeds the number of available seats, then assignments will be made through a random lottery process. Siblings will be provided a preference in the lottery. Transfers are granted through completion of the highest grade at the school. IEP requirements cannot be guaranteed for students accepting a transfer through COE.

Students who reside in Flagler County, and were granted Controlled Open Enrollment in a previous year, do not need to reapply annually, as long as they are staying in the same Flagler County school. Out-of-county residents must apply annually.
