Pierz School Board Approves Resolution to Limit Open Enrollment

Current open enrolled students will still attend
At the regular board meeting of Feb. 28, the Pierz School Board adopted a Resolution to manage open enrollment numbers per grade. The Board also will approve a separate Open Enrollment Policy at its regular March meeting.

A draft of that policy was reviewed at the February meeting. The goal is to continue to provide financial efficiency, teaching and learning effectiveness, yet also create long term stability. “Open enrollment has helped all of us, by keeping the district financially strong, bringing terrific families into our communities, helping reverse declining numbers and the potential loss of programs and jobs,” said Superintendent George Weber, “but now is the time to put a limit on it.”

State law mandates all public school districts to allow the enrollment of students who do not live within the district’s attendance boundary, with the state funding flowing with those students to the school they attend. However, state law also permits a school board to limit the enrollment of nonresident students based on the capacity of a program, grade level, or school building.

Pierz Schools, effective immediately, has established a maximum number of students that can be enrolled in each grade. "It is very important to note that a grade level that is closed to open enrollment is still open for enrollment by resident students,” Weber said, “and that any student currently enrolled in the school district, even if open enrolled, can continue to attend Pierz Schools.” Like most public school laws, the State Legislature sets the rules regarding the implementation of Open Enrollment. Local School Boards have limited discretion within those laws. More detailed information regarding the open enrollment process can be obtained on the district website on the
