VIII.3. Approval of Open Enrollment Availability
Presenter:
Luke Francois
Description:
Last year's Act 114 requires board action at the January meeting to determine the number of regular and special education spaces available within the school district. If the board does not intend to deny pupils due to space, it may make that determination. For special education, the board must establish criteria and determine the number of spaces fore each program or service that has a class size or caseload limit.
The District recommends not denying open enrollment pupils as space is available.
