Summary

The committee advanced JFAB (admission of nonresident students) to the full board; members emphasized capacity safeguards and added explicit language that tuition or an agreement may be required for approved nonresident admissions.

The committee reviewed JFAB, the district policy that governs admission of nonresident students and open enrollment. Rob and others said the district historically receives a small number of requests annually and that JFAB and IIB together guide how the district limits admissions to avoid overloading schools. Members added language clarifying that when the superintendent approves a nonresident admission, the district may "charge tuition or enter into an agreement," to avoid unpaid placements.

Committee members also flagged consistency errors and asked staff to ensure that references to middle- and high-school ratios carried through the draft. The committee approved the amended JFAB for recommendation to the full board.
