Menahga board caps Grade 3 open enrollment at 75, cites building capacity
Summary
Citing enrollment pressures at Menahga Elementary, the board adopted an open-enrollment cap for Grade 3 (in‑person classes capped at 75) for 2025–2026 and authorized administration to manage nonresident applications per Minnesota Statutes §124D.03.
The Menahga board adopted an Open Enrollment Resolution limiting in‑person Grade 3 classes to a cap of 75 students for the 2025–2026 school year, citing anticipated enrollment increases and lack of space at Menahga Elementary. Member Cherie Peterson introduced the resolution referencing Minnesota Statutes §124D.03; the motion was seconded by Sara Makela and adopted unanimously.
The resolution authorizes the administration, in consultation with participating districts, to approve or disapprove nonresident open enrollment applications consistent with statutory capacity limits and interdistrict agreements. The minutes record the board's intent to use grade‑level caps to manage space constraints rather than a district‑wide moratorium.
