Open-enrollment inflow rises; committee examines why families choose Platteville
Summary
Committee reviewed second-year open-enrollment data analyzed by SWRPC and collected by staff; incoming open-enroll counts rose from about 64 to nearly 90, and members emphasized reasons such as teacher relationships and sense of belonging.
Committee members reviewed the district’s second set of open-enrollment data and the committee’s partnership with the Southwest Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission to analyze trends. Chair noted staff member Michelle Cummins conducted outreach calls over the summer to collect incoming and outgoing open-enrollment information.
Members emphasized that understanding why families stay matters as much as where they go. One committee member said families reported staying “because they felt, you know, teachers were specific reasons and personal connections to the district,” and urged the district to surface those strengths in communications. A committee member summarized numeric trends: "we got like 64 last year enrolled in and almost 90 enrolled in this year," and said the committee should aim to track consistent survey questions across years to allow clearer comparisons.
