V.2. Board approval of the number of regular and special education spaces available for open enrollment.
Description:
Per state statutes, the nonresident school board shall determine the number of regular education and special education spaces available within the school district in the January meeting of the school board.
Regular Education Recommendations: Enclosed in the attached document. Special Education Recommendations: For the purpose of accepting non-resident open enrollment applications for the 2019-2020 school year, the following program limits are established for the District’s special education programs: Early Childhood (ages 3-5): 8 Elementary cross-categorical grades K-2: 10 Elementary cross-categorical grades 3-5: 10 Middle school cross-categorical 6-8: 12 High School cross categorical 9-12: 15 per teacher The reasons for this are as follows: (1) There is a small degree of assumed error when making enrollment projections. (2) At the time when open enrollment requests are approved, special education evaluations are still being completed and more students will likely yet be identified. (3) The District continues to experience student transfers into the District through the start of the next school year. Based upon these program limits, at this time, there are 0 spaces available for open enrollment in the early childhood, elementary, junior high, or high school special education programs identified above. Because of current numbers of students with identified needs, current staffing levels, current contracted services levels and space available, the district will not accept open enrollment applications for students with the following needs: - Students who require services for a vision impairment or a deaf/hard of hearing impairment - Students who require occupational therapy or physical therapy.
