In Colorado, students can apply to a district-managed, charter, or innovation school other than their assigned neighborhood school. January is the time many parents start thinking about enrolling their kids in new schools, and some school districts have deadlines to enroll for the 2021-22 school year. If you’re interested in changing schools for your kids, check out our Open Enrollment School Directory! https://www.coloradospringskids.com/pages/openEnrollmentSchoolDirectory.html
