Board authorizes superintendent to open six nonresident admission slots under Policy JECB
Summary
The board approved a superintendent request to open six nonresident student slots for the coming year under Policy JECB, with priority to siblings and employees' children; members asked about grade distribution and kindergarten class sizes.
The board reviewed Policy JECB (admission of nonresident students) and authorized the superintendent to open up to six nonresident admission slots for the upcoming school year.
The superintendent explained the policy gives priority to siblings of current students and to children of district employees and noted that openings do not guarantee transfers because the outgoing districts must release students. A board member asked about grade levels and kindergarten class sizes; the superintendent said kindergarten numbers were around 14 and that adding two or three students would still be within a reasonable class size.
A board member moved to open six slots and give the superintendent the authority to accept up to six nonresident students; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
