I called the Superintendent of Catalina Foothills – District 16 Schools on Tuesday and was told there is no open-enrollment during the school year and that applications would be started in December for the next school year.

Unfortunately, this hurts the sales of some homes adjacent to the school lines that are used to having their kids open enroll into the Catalina Foothills – District 16 schools. Many homes are sold during the school year, but the children of the parents who bought homes outside the district will have to start at the non-Catalina Foothills schools until the next school year.  This decision is probably made since they do not want the Catalina Foothills classrooms to become crowded.
