VII. ITEMS FOR ACTION

VII.1. Open Enrollment for 2014-2015
Description:
Act 114 requires board action to determine the number of regular and special education spaces available within the school district for open enrollment. 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 for each program or service that has a class size or caseload limit.
The District recommends only closing open enrollment for students identified for special education as a result of the current caseload limits exceeding capacity and lack of space. |
