Board reviews annual open‑enrollment space allocations; district to finalize seats and lottery window
Summary
Kenosha Unified presented the district’s annual open‑enrollment space allocation report, proposing about 200 offered seats (including 18 designated for special education) for the state open‑enrollment transfer window.
Kenosha Unified staff provided the board with the annual open‑enrollment space allocation report required by state policy and the board’s January timeline. The report shows the district offering approximately 200 open‑enrollment seats for the coming transfer window, including 18 seats allocated for special education placements; grade‑level allocations were adjusted in upper grades to increase capacity.
Staff explained that participating in the state open‑enrollment transfer window requires the board to approve space allocations by grade level and special education grouping. The transcript notes the district has been consistent in offering nearly 200 seats overall even after rightsizing and adjustments to school capacities.
If the board approves the allocations in the routine approval process, the state transfer window would operate from early February through the last weekday in April, followed by lottery and assignment procedures per state rules. The presentation was informational at the Jan. 16 special meeting; staff will present the formal approval item in the regular board process.
Clarifying details: staff reported a total offered seats near 200 and that adjustments were made to grades 10–12 allocations to increase those seats compared with prior years.
