The Buchanan Community Schools will once again participate in the “Schools of Choice” program for the first semester of the 2024-25 school year. Students who reside in a contiguous intermediate school district, within the state of Michigan, may apply for admission to Buchanan Community Schools without having to receive permission from their home school district. Students who are accepted under the “Schools of Choice” plan may attend Buchanan Community Schools without any tuition charge. Once admitted, students may remain through graduation. Future preference for admission will be given to siblings of students already accepted by the district under the “Schools of Choice” plan.

Student athletes should be aware of the MHSAA regulations involving “Schools of Choice” transfer. A new sport-specific transfer rule has been adopted and took effect the 2019-20 school year. The revised rule means a transfer student has
- No eligibility for the upcoming season in a spot actually played the previous season in that sport at the student’s former high school during the most recent previous school year. (Unless one of the 15 MHSAA exceptions apply).
- A student would be eligible in sports they did not participate in during the previous or current school year.
Students’ sport participation during the 2023-24 school year will determine their eligibility for 2024-25 should they transfer schools and not meet one of the 15 stated exceptions. This rule applies to high school students GRADES 9-12 only.
