Board discusses deleting 3% cap policy for virtual public charter enrollment
Summary
Board members reviewed a draft policy that would allow denying virtual public charter enrollments once online enrollments exceed 3% of total enrollment; staff recommended deleting the unused policy and the board agreed to move the proposal to the action agenda for potential deletion.
Board members reviewed a draft policy that would permit the district to deny enrollment of virtual public charter school students if more than 3% of the district's total enrollment sought online options. Staff told the board they have never used the policy and recommended deleting it because staff typically process releases when parents choose online schools rather than enforce a cap.
"If a student doesn't want to be here, wants to go online, but we've already hit you know, once you hit 3% of your total enrollment looking to go online beyond 3%, you can just say no," a staff member said, describing the language in the draft policy and the practical implications. Board members expressed support for removing policies that the district does not enforce and agreed to place deletion of the policy on a future action agenda for formal consideration.
