Board holds first reading to expand open enrollment to 100 nonresident students
Summary
The board conducted a first reading of Policy 5113 to expand open enrollment; a presenter said last year 14 applied and 10 attended, the district aims for 100 slots and wants to move the application timeline earlier to May to allow schools to provide information.
At the meeting the board took a first reading of Policy 5113, the district's open enrollment policy. A committee member said last year 14 families applied and 10 students participated and that this year the district hopes to expand open enrollment to 100 nonresident students.
The presenter said the district plans to move the application timeline earlier — from an August start to a May start — so schools can provide more information before decisions are made. She described the process: registration reviews applications and forwards candidate files to an open‑enrollment committee, which has included Mr. Hurd and Mr. Balter. That committee reviews academics, attendance, behavior and extracurricular engagement before deciding whether to offer open enrollment.
Board members asked for more detail on how behavioral findings influenced past selections and whether activities referenced were sports or programs such as agriculture; the presenter said she would follow up with Mr. Hurd for the specific findings. No vote was taken; the item remains a first reading.
