OPEN ENROLLMENT AT CLOVERLEAF
The Cloverleaf Board of Education believes students should, under certain prescribed circumstances, benefit from an interdistrict open enrollment policy. Guidelines for the transfer of students, based upon criteria established by the school's administration and in conjunction with recommendations from officials of the Ohio Department of Education are listed below. These guidelines are intended to be consistent with Section 3319.98 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Public Information
Annually, the district will inform residents about open enrollment options, including deadlines, available to pupils. Information about the district's educational programs and application procedures will be available upon request. Each adjacent superintendent and board of education will be informed of the application procedures and available programs for students.
Application Procedures
