FAQ:
If grade levels have available space, currently attending Tuition Waiver students and siblings of Open Enrollment students will be considered from a waiting list. All other applicants will be considered after currently attending Tuition Waiver and siblings of currently attending Open Enrollment students.
Wisconsin State Statute on open enrollment students and attendance:
Wisconsin statute 118.51 states that if a non-resident school board determines that a pupil attending the non-resident school district under this section is habitually truant during either semester in the current year, the non-resident school board may prohibit the pupil from attending the nonresident school district the succeeding semester or school year.
