Open Enrollment/School Choice

The Arizona School Improvement Act of 1994 (amended in 1995) mandates that public schools provide open enrollment opportunities throughout Arizona.  the law was passed to allow parents/guardians to register their children in neighboring schools and school districts in an effort to give them a choice in school selection.

Parents/guardians, whether living within or outside of the Cottonwood Oak Creek School District boundaries, are welcome to apply for enrollment in a Cottonwood school of choice. Placement is based upon space availability and highest priority for placement is given to students who reside in that school attendance area and/or were enrolled the previous year.

For the upcoming school year, parents should submit an open enrollment application to the school of their choice when they register their child.  Please visit your school of choice to complete the correct forms.  Your request to enroll will not be completed until you meet with your school of choice.

Cottonwood-Oak Creek School District says,

INVEST IN CHILDREN

Keep your Arizona Tax Dollars Local

Arizona authorizes a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for income taxpayers who make a donation to an Arizona public school. This means that for every dollar (up to $200 per individual filing single, $400 per married couple filing jointly) per year that you donate in support of extracurricular activities you can subtract that entire amount from your state tax liability. In addition, you may also qualify for a donation as a charitable contribution on your federal tax return.

THE DETAILS: You don’t have to have a child in school to apply for the credit. The school must use the money for extracurricular activities. Please check with whomever prepares your taxes to see how best to take advantage of this tax credit.

For more information, please call (928) 634-2288

El Distrito Escolar de Cottonwood-Oak Creek dice,

“INVERTEN EN NIÑOS

Guardan Local sus Dólares de Impuestos de Arizona”

Arizona autoriza un crédito de impuestos de dólar por dólar para contribuyentes de impuestos que hacen un donativo a una escuela pública en Arizona. Esto significa que para cada dólar (hasta $200 por individuo que archiva solo, $400 por la pareja casada que archiva colectivamente) por año que usted dona en apoyo de actividades extracurriculares, puede restar esa cantidad entera de su deuda de los impuestos del estado. Además, puede calificar por una donación como una contribución caritativa en su declaración de impuestos federales.

LOS DETALLES: Para aplicar por el crédito, no necesita tener un niño en escuela. La escuela necesita usar el dinero para actividades extracurriculares. Favor de verificar con la persona quien prepare sus declaraciones de impuestos para ver como puede aprovechar mejor este crédito de impuestos.
