School Choice

School Choice (Open Enrollment) for GMSD will begin on January 8, 2024 at 10:00am CST, and it will close on February 5, 2024 at 11:59pm CST. Due to current student numbers and available space, transfer approvals will be limited. School Choice applications will be available to all prospective new transfers and current GMSD students on an intra-district transfer. Transfers will be processed based on policy #6.206 and #6.2061. Tuition fees may be required for out of district students. All applications will be processed, and approvals/denials will be mailed by February 26, 2024.

There are so many factors that play into School Choice, and we want to help each and every family as they prepare for this period.
