The Nebraska Option Enrollment program gives students the opportunity to attend a different public school from the district in which they reside. Option Enrollment applications for the following school year are due by March 15. Applications can be submitted after March 15, however, you must visit with your resident school district first and obtain a release. A release from your resident district does not guarantee acceptance into the Option district.
