Board packet recommends limiting open enrollment to 1% per grade for 2025–26 with sibling and staff exceptions
Summary
Administration recommended a board resolution to limit open enrollment to at least 1% of class size per grade for 2025–26 under MN Stat. 124D.03, permitting sibling and employee‑child exceptions and a lottery if minimums are unmet.
Administration asked the board to adopt a resolution providing for the district’s open‑enrollment parameters for 2025–26 under Minnesota Statute 124D.03. The recommended guidelines would limit open enrollment in grades K–12 to maintain a minimum of 1% of class size at each grade level, allow kindergarten priority for currently enrolled siblings or children of district employees, permit up to five additional siblings and up to five children of district staff per grade level beyond the 1% minimum, and require a lottery to meet minimums if necessary (SEG 2764–2779).
The recommended action is presented in the packet as a resolution for board adoption. The packet text references the statutory authority and sets operational rules (placement at schools with available capacity). The transcript packet provides the administration’s recommended language; consult official minutes for the board’s formal vote.
