Our charter states we can have up to 1220 students. The district is restricting our enrollment in two ways, first by saying we cannot have more than 1098, however, they moved us into a building that cannot accommodate more than 1050 students.

Scott is recommending we look at the number of sections per grade in following years to accommodate the lower number of students. The board reiterated that it is important to us to serve as many students as possible.

Scott shared enrollment has declined. Currently at 1018 students.They are calling families on the wait list. Scott shared that, unlike in previous years, he is being instructed to stop adding new students by 6/28/24. In previous years, we added students up until the third Friday, which aligns with our contract, which states we can utilize the wait list until the end of the first semester to fill open seats. 

Bill Haithcock and Kim Fischer were added to the meeting. Bill shared that Scott was given a month to complete picking up all students, Bill contacted Joe while Scott was on vacation to reiterate the deadline.
