| Abstract | School district leaders are responsible for creating strategic plans for their districts which include three-year, five-year, and ten-year plans. Prior to 1989, school district leaders anticipated student growth or decline by assessing the housing market and mobility trends in the district. In 1989, the Nebraska legislature passed a law allowing parents to send their child to a school outside of their resident school's district boundaries via option enrollment. While there was a large body of literature pertaining to parents' school choice options, the same could not be said for option enrollment as it applies to Nebraska. The purpose of this study was to provide relevant data about option enrollment for leaders of small rural schools in Nebraska. A single case study design was utilized to learn about the experiences of option enrollment parents. One school served as the sole source from which data was derived. To achieve this, 10 interviews were conducted with option-in parents and three with option-out parents. The results of the corresponding analysis of the interview transcripts offered remarkable insight into personal parent perceptions and the experiences parents valued when they considered option enrollment. The three themes which emerged were parent perception of schools, experiences parents value for their children, and parent satisfaction with option enrollment. Research found there was a connection between option enrollment and parent satisfaction. These findings provided school district leaders with guidance on how they might influence parent satisfaction and effectively market their school district to potential option enrollment families.
