Wisconsin's inter-district public school open enrollment program allows parents that live in the State of Wisconsin to apply for their children to attend other school districts in the State of Wisconsin other than the one in which they live. These are referred to as non-resident districts. The resident and non-resident district needs to be in the State of Wisconsin. Learn more about VAS here.

Under certain circumstances, state law permits your child to continue to attend school in a school district even after you move out of the school district.
The law covers three circumstances in which your child may, if certain requirements are met, continue to attend a school district even if you are no longer a resident:
1. When you move out of a school district during a school year and wish your child to finish that school year in the school district.
2. When you move out of a school district during a school year and wish your child to not only finish the current school year in the
school district, but to continue to attend that school district in the future.
3. When your child has attained senior status while a resident of the school district and wishes to attend the district in her or his senior
year (this is often referred to as “the senior rule”).
Each of these circumstances has its own set of statutory rules that must be followed exactly in order for the student to continue to attend school in the district.
