Boyceville board sets 2026–27 open-enrollment seats, limits 8th grade and special education slots

The Boyceville Community School District Board voted to set open-enrollment space for the 2026–27 school year. By motion of Jessie Olson, seconded by Ben Mrdutt, the board approved no limit on regular-education open-enrollment seats for PK–7 and grades 9–12, while designating zero seats for 8th grade. The motion also specified that no open-enrollment seats would be available for students seeking placement in Cross Categorical special-education categories, Early Childhood services (including significant developmental delay), Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy, or Physical Therapy.

The motion carried with all voting in favor. The board did not specify anticipated waitlists or transfer timelines in the public record of this meeting; district staff typically process open-enrollment applications according to state and district policy. The official motion recorded in the minutes reads: “Motion by Jessie Olson to approve no limit on seats available for regular education open enrollment applications for the 2026-2027 school year in grades PK-7th, and 9-12th; zero seats available in 8th grade for regular education open enrollment applications; and zero seats available for Special Education students applying for open enrollment in the Cross Categorical ..., Early Childhood ..., Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy.”
