Board reviews annual enrollment-cap policy to limit out-of-district elementary class sizes
Summary
District staff reviewed policy JETB proposing a 25-student cap on out-of-district elementary enrollments (MES, LES, BES) to protect in-district class size; the board indicated it will vote later on the item.
District staff presented the annual review of Policy JETB, which sets enrollment caps for the 2026–27 school year. An administrator (S4) said the policy "only applies to students that don't do that in the district" and explained the intent: to protect class sizes by allowing the district to deny out-of-district students if a given class or grade level is at 25 students. The administrator framed the cap as a safety precaution to ensure instructional quality and classroom environment.
Board members discussed the item briefly and confirmed they conduct this review yearly. The board did not adopt a final vote during the discussion block; members indicated they would vote on the item later in the meeting. No changes to in-district students’ access were proposed; staff emphasized the cap applies only to out-of-district enrollment when classes meet the 25-student threshold.
