For years, the Change of School Assignment (COSA) process has let families apply to schools outside their zoned campus when space was available.
Starting in the 2026–27 school year, COSA will become Open Enrollment, with a simpler, more family-friendly application.
“Open Enrollment gives every family the freedom to choose a school where their child can thrive, discover their passions, and reach their fullest potential,” said Gia Moore, assistant superintendent of the College and Career Readiness and School Choice Division.
What’s next: For the 2026–2027 school year, applications are scheduled to open this October for all CCSD school choice options, including Magnet Schools, Career and Technical Academies, Central Technical Training Academy, and Open Enrollment.
