Trustees approve enrollment of out‑of‑district student for first semester after closed session
Summary
After a closed session under Montana privacy law, Bigfork trustees approved enrollment of student 24154 for the first semester, with continuation into the second semester contingent on district residency.
The Bigfork School Board convened a closed session under Montana Code Annotated § 2‑3‑203(3) to consider out‑of‑district enrollment matters and approved enrollment of student 24154 for the first semester.
Chairperson Paul Sandry declared the board was entering closed session at 5:48 p.m. for privacy considerations related to student records. Closed session ended at 6:09 p.m. Following the closed session, Trustee Zack Anderson moved to approve enrollment of student 24154 for the first semester, with continuation in the second semester contingent on the student being a district resident; Trustee Ben Woods seconded the motion. The motion was approved by unanimous vote of the elementary trustees.
The minutes record the board’s finding that the rights of individual privacy exceeded the public’s right to know for this matter and that the conditional approval was limited to the semester identified; further residency verification is required for second‑semester enrollment.
