Zone waiver applications for the 2026–27 school year will open on February 26.
During the district’s open enrollment period each year, a parent/guardian may request that his/her child attend a school within the district other than the one to which the child is zoned. Zone waiver applications must be completed on a yearly basis and are applicable to one school year only depending on school enrollment and capacity. The open enrollment process shall be completed before other nonresident transfers are approved. Once accepted, the student shall provide his/her own transportation to and from the school. The student must maintain satisfactory attendance, behavior, and effort to remain in the new school.
Murfreesboro City Schools will conduct the open enrollment period for zone waivers from February 26 – March 27, 2026. Parents or guardians of a student seeking to transfer their child to an open zoned school for the 2026-27 school year must apply within this timeline.
