When a student option enrolls out of their assigned school district and into another, as long as their residence address does not change they are only able to transfer back to their assigned district, correct? If correct, is this a NSAA eligibility rule or an overall transfer rule in regards to option enrollment?
Transfer ?
- Thread starter nenebskers
- Start date
Sports and Activities deal with NSAA eligibility. You get one option enrollment.

I believe that use to be the rule but now is no longer, even if you go back to same district you must set 90 days
Like others said, you can no longer just return to your district of residence without the 90-day sitout.
Also, in the example you listed above, the transfer would have to take place before May 1st, to get onto the receiving school's May 1st transfer list.
Unless they are an incoming freshman. Incoming freshmen get basically a free choice as to where they are going.
School's can accept/decline options beyond the May 1st date...so a student could option and be accepted at a point that is too late to be able to transfer for eligibility purposes.
Without a move, there's a lot of moving parts to it, in my opinion.
Thanks for the replys. I'll try to be a little more specific with my question.
A family's Kindergarten student option enrolls from home district A into neighboring district B. The family is wanting to option enroll the child into another district, district C, next year to do another year of Kindergarten and then proceed to advance until they graduate. Is this allowed if their home residence address does not change? More of a option enrollment question than an eligibility question.

From the Nebraska Department of Education:
How many times may a student use the Enrollment Option Program?
According to Nebraska State Statute Section 79-234, the option is available only once to each student prior to graduation except that the option does not count toward such limitation if such option meets, or met at the time of the option, one of the following criteria: (a) the student relocates to a different resident school district, (b) the option school district merges with another district, (c) the option school district is a Class I district, (d) the student will have completed either the grades offered in the school building originally attended in the option school district or the grades immediately preceding the lowest grade offered in the school building for which a new option is sought, (e) the option would allow the student to continue current enrollment in a school district, (f) the option would allow the student to enroll in a school district in which the student was previously enrolled as a student, or (g) the student is an open enrollment option student.
hopfully you are being sarcastic, because this doesnt effect anyone in grade school
It does in the fact that a student is only allowed one option enrollment her their K-12 career unless one of the above exceptions is met.
you can pop around as much as you like in K-8 when it comes to NSAA, It is only 9-12 that matters for NSAA events
