Board limits special-education open enrollment for 2026–27, leaves regular open enrollment open
Summary
The D C Everest Area School District board voted to allow regular-education open enrollment where space exists but to deny open-enrollment requests that require special-education services for the 2026–2027 school year; the decision was made by voice vote on Jan. 14.
The D C Everest Area School District Board of Education voted Jan. 14 to recommend that the district not deny regular-education open-enrollment requests due to space while denying open-enrollment requests that would require the district to provide special-education services for the 2026–2027 school year.
Board member Yee Leng Xiong made the motion, seconded by Shannon Grabko, to adopt the designation as outlined in the background materials; the motion passed by voice vote. The minutes state the recommendation applies specifically to service-related special-education requests for 2026–27; the board did not record additional detail about operational limits, capacity thresholds, or appeal procedures in these minutes.
The decision follows board and CESA discussion earlier in the meeting that noted difficulty finding staff for special education and student services. The recorded motion and vote in the minutes are the formal action taken; the minutes do not include a recorded dissent or a roll-call tally for this item.
