Summary

The board approved a motion granting administration discretion to close open enrollment to specific grade levels as enrollment necessitates, formalizing the district's approach to manage capacity.

The board passed a motion that delegates to administration the authority to determine when to close open enrollment to a grade level as enrollment necessitates. The minutes record the motion as: “A motion was made by Rotter, seconded by Okeson to Approve the Motion to Approve Open Enrollment — The School Board grants permission to administration at its discretion to determine when to close open enrollment to a grade level as enrollment necessitates. Resolution of Concurrence. Motion carried unanimously.”

The action formalizes an administrative tool to manage capacity at specific grade levels; the minutes do not list a timeline for implementing closures or criteria beyond “as enrollment necessitates.” Parents and district staff seeking specifics would need to consult the administration for application procedures and criteria.
