Cross-Border Open Enrollment

The State of South Dakota has entered into an agreement with the State of North Dakota to allow cross-border enrollment for kindergarten through 12th-grade students. The agreement allows a student who resides in a South Dakota school district contiguous to the North Dakota border to attend school in a North Dakota school district. It allows families to make choices based on their proximity to schools, their work situations and other important factors.
