White Pine County School District

White Pine County School District recognizes that families may wish to have their child attend a school outside their assigned attendance zone. We want to make sure parents and guardians have the information they need to understand the open enrollment process.

In accordance with Nevada law (NRS 388.040, Assembly Bill 533, Senate Bill 460, and Nevada Administrative Regulation R076-25), families may request enrollment at another district school, subject to available space and district policy.

What Is Open Enrollment?

Open enrollment allows parents or guardians to request that their child attend a school within White Pine County School District other than their assigned school.

Requests are reviewed based on available space at the requested school and grade level.
