Education Location Option
ELO
(Education Location Option)
This is the option to attend a school other than the zoned school based on residence. This process is lottery based and has an ongoing waitlist process for options during the school year.
Requirements for Submitting an Application to a Non-Zoned School:
Must be a current Florida Resident and upload 2 proofs of residency from Tier 1 and Tier 2 to Focus before submitting an application.
A behavior/academic/attendance parent and student contract is required upon entry. This will be completed by the parent during the application process in a series of "Agree" questions through Focus.
For a list of approved proof of residency documents :
Athletics: Parents/legal guardians of non-traditional students (i.e. home education, private school, charter school) who wish to participate in a sport at a school for which they are not zoned, per FHSAA Bylaw 9.2, must follow Brevard’s controlled open enrollment and apply via our ELO process within determined deadlines.
When submitting your application, through Focus, you will also need to fill out an EL-14 form to submit by attaching it to your application. The EL-14 form can be found under the Forms Tab on our School Choice website or from the Focus application.
