Board accepts December gifts and approves 60 open‑enrollment general‑education seats for 2026–27
Summary
The board approved acceptance of gifts, grants and bequests received in December 2025 and authorized 60 general‑education open‑enrollment seats (0 for special education) for the 2026–27 school year; the board confirmed open-enrollment applicants must be Wisconsin residents.
Catherine presented two budget-related action items and the board approved both by voice vote.
The administration recommended acceptance of gifts, grants and bequests received in December 2025; the board approved the recommendation with no further discussion.
On open enrollment, administration recommended the district set 60 spaces for general-education open enrollment and 0 spaces for special‑education open enrollment for the 2026–27 school year. A board member asked who may apply; administration clarified the 60 spots are available to nonresident Wisconsin students (Minnesota students are excluded) and that historically the district has not accepted open-enrollment special-education placements because caseloads exceed recommended limits for special-education staff.
The motion to approve open enrollment numbers passed by voice vote. Administration said the district will continue work to attract resident students who currently access other online programs.
