EPIC board adopts soft enrollment caps effective March 1 to protect instruction before state testing
Summary
The board adopted grade‑level enrollment caps (soft limits) effective March 1 to give teachers additional runway ahead of OSTP testing; the policy allows exceptions (siblings and other circumstances).
The EPIC One on One Charter School board voted to implement grade‑level enrollment caps effective March 1, citing the need to provide teachers time to prepare students before the OSTP state testing window.
Michael Florie presented the quarterly capacity report and explained the recommended effective date change from April 1 to March 1 to provide roughly two to three extra weeks for staff to support incoming students. He described the caps as a "soft" limit that preserves exceptions for siblings and other specified circumstances.
When asked about current enrollment, Florie offered an approximate figure "3130" students. Board members agreed the earlier effective date would give teachers more runway to address needs such as special‑education supports and concurrent enrollment transitions. The motion to adopt the caps effective March 1 was moved, seconded and approved by roll‑call.
