Out of District or Attendance Area

If you reside outside the Auburn-Washburn district boundaries, your family is considered "out of district". If you reside in one Auburn-Washburn attendance area and desire for your student to attend school in another Auburn-Washburn attendance area, your family is considered "out of attendance area".

Open Enrollment Information

All out of district and out of attendance area students must be approved by the Board of Education each year. Approval is based on a variety of factors, including capacity. Capacity for the 2024-2025 school year has been determined by the Auburn-Washburn Board of Education and is posted here.

The Board of Education will determine the capacity available in each grade level in each school building of the school district for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year no later than Thursday, May 1, 2025. Families who have completed a nonresident student application will receive communication about acceptance or non-acceptance on or before Tuesday, July 15, 2025.

Transportation Fee

Out of district/attendance area families who are approved by the Board of Education and utilize the school bus will be assessed a fee of $50 per student, per semester. This fee is capped at $200 per family per school year. If your family qualifies for free meals, and you complete the Optional Consent for Disclosure for the current school year, this fee will be waived.
