Out-of-Assigned District - Newton Residents ONLY

  • The Newton Public Schools considers applications from families residing in Newton who would like their student to attend or transfer to a school different from their assigned district. This process is also used for Newton faculty/staff (NTA Units A,B,C,D,E, NESA, Custodial Union) who wish to enroll their student in the Newton Public Schools.
     

    Out-of-Assigned (OAD) district placements are limited and are made on a space available basis. The established procedure and application process must be followed in order for the request to be considered.  Please see the Out-of-Assigned District Policy  issued by the Newton School Committee and Out-of-Assigned District Procedures for more information.
