Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment Information and Application
The Hardin Northern Local School District will permit students for the 2022-2023 school year to enroll in the school system on a tuition free basis.
Beginning April 30, 2022 and continuing through the month of May, completed Open Enrollment Applications (see attached copy) will be accepted at the Office of the Superintendent located at 11589 St. Rt. 81, Dola, Oh 45835.
The priority by which applications will be approved will be based upon students previously enrolled under the district’s open enrollment policies, the date of receipt of open enrollment forms, and then by the time of receipt of open enrollment forms. The Hardin Northern Board of Education through its policy has established grade level, school building and educational program capacities. The final number of applicants approved for enrollment will be based upon those established capacities. Application may be rejected in situations where racial imbalances are caused as a result of open enrollment, for certain student disciplinary reasons, and in situations whereby the Hardin Northern District does not offer individual education plan services.
If you have any questions about this policy or the Hardin Northern Schools, please call 419-759-2331.
