Can families who do not live in Saint Paul apply to Saint Paul Public Schools?
Yes. Under the state’s open enrollment law, families can apply to schools that are not located in the school district where they live. Space availability and school district policies may affect whether a student’s open enrollment request is granted. While families who live in Saint Paul generally have preference over out of district families, Saint Paul Public Schools welcomes students and families from all parts of the metropolitan area. Transportation is generally not provided outside Saint Paul city limits. Transportation may be provided to eligible non-resident students from existing bus stops within school district boundaries. Pre-Kindergarten Program applicants must live in Saint Paul. For more information, call 651-632-3728.
