District news
District will not take special education open enrollment students for 2026-27
What happened
On January 19 the board set 2026-27 open enrollment limits: no limit on regular education applicants, but zero spaces in early childhood, elementary, middle and high school special education programs because of staffing shortages. It also will not accept students who need vision, hearing, occupational or physical therapy or behavior support services.
Why it matters to families
Families outside the district who need these services cannot transfer in, and the limits reflect how short the district is on special education staff.
