Alternate School of Choice (ASC) Application Now Open
Lakota families may now submit an online Alternate School of Choice (ASC) application for the 2026–2027 school year. ASC allows students to request attendance at a school other than their assigned resident school.
The application must be submitted online by 11:59 PM on April 1. This is the first year the process is fully electronic, and paper forms will not be accepted. Requests are time‑stamped and reviewed in the order received.
ASC approval does not carry over from year to year. Previous approval does not guarantee placement for the following school year.
Learn more about the ASC application process on our website. Questions about the process can be directed to Assistant Superintendent Aaron Marshall.
