District staff reported the status of the district's open‑enrollment window and enrollment requests and told the board the uneven pattern of Dual Language Immersion participation across elementary schools has prompted a planned review and potential realignment.

Staff said open enrollment in kindergarten through fifth grade opened June 23 and that, as of the presentation, the district had a net total described by staff as 195 students categorized as over‑enrolled across the district (the presenter said this number is prior to processing wait lists and other adjustments). Staff described an initial queue and subsequent applications during a special period and said some requests were denied or withdrawn; staff gave figures during the presentation (for example: an early queue of 30, 91 subsequent applications, 10 declines and 16 denials were cited by the presenter). Staff attributed some denials to misunderstandings about transportation for out‑of‑boundary students.

The board heard that some elementary sites have large available capacity while others do not, and that one DLI site (Napoleon/Nick Bourn was referenced in discussion) is organized as a whole‑school DLI program while other elementaries have both traditional and DLI tracks. Board members and staff said those program configurations have created disproportionate enrollments and other unintended consequences. Staff proposed an elementary realignment process targeted to begin in January 2026 that would convene committees or task forces next school year to study program structure and recommend changes if needed.

Preschool and after‑care capacity also came up. Staff gave several figures during the discussion (one speaker said “just about 1,000 students in preschool across the district,” while another cited smaller counts for specific sites and waiting lists); staff said waiting lists exist at some preschools and that the executive leadership team is moving to add before‑ and after‑care seats at selected schools to reduce wait lists.

No formal policy decisions were made at the meeting; staff said they will convene task forces, gather comparative information from other districts, and return recommendations to the board.

Ending: District staff will form committees and return proposed options for elementary realignment and for addressing preschool and after‑care capacity in subsequent meetings.
