Board discusses School of Choice cap as SOC enrollment nears 10% limit
Summary
Under policy 5305, School of Choice enrollment is capped at 10% of district enrollment; the board noted current SOC enrollment is 8% for 2025–26 and discussed options including leaving the cap, increasing it, or setting an explicit enrollment cap.
The Board reviewed School of Choice Policy 5305, which limits School of Choice (SOC) enrollment to 10% of district enrollment. Members noted current SOC participation is about 8% for the 2025'026 school year and that SOC has typically increased by about 1 to 1.5 percentage points annually, which could bring the district close to the cap for 2026'027.
Options discussed included leaving the policy unchanged (with the risk of having to waitlist families if the cap is reached), increasing the allowable percentage, or instituting a firm enrollment cap. No final decision was made; the topic was left for further review and potential future action.
