Board approves interdistrict transfer caps, limiting outside kindergarten transfers to 45
Summary
Administrators explained proposed caps on interdistrict transfers and the board voted unanimously to approve limits (kindergarten cap set at 45), intended to align enrollment with budgeted staffing levels.
The Warrenton‑Hammond board approved interdistrict transfer grade caps designed to balance projected enrollment with staffing and budget projections.
Administrators explained the caps are thresholds: for example, kindergarten transfers will be capped at 45 students; "if we hit 45, we will not allow any more interdistrict [transfers]," an administrator said. The caps are intended to keep headcount within budgeted staffing levels and were approved unanimously by the board.
Board members asked how the caps were developed and were told administration and the superintendent ran the numbers; a director requested a historical comparison to prior years. The caps will apply when seats are filled to the stated cap numbers.
