I. INTRODUCTION

This report is prepared pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 118.51 (15) (c), as amended in 2011 Wisconsin Act 114, which

requires the Department of Public Instruction to:

Annually submit a report to the governor and to the appropriate standing committees of the legislature

under s. 13.172 (3). The report under this paragraph shall include all of the following information:

The number of pupils who applied to attend public school in a nonresident school district under the

full-time open enrollment program.

The number of applications received under the regular and alternative application procedures and, for

the applications received under the alternative application procedure, the number of applications

received under each of the criteria listed under the alternative application procedure.

The number of applications denied and the bases for the denials.

The number of pupils attending public school in a nonresident school district under the open

enrollment program. The department shall specify, separately, the number of pupils attending public

school in a nonresident school district whose applications were accepted under the regular application

procedure and the alternative application procedure and, for the applications submitted under the

alternative application procedures, the number of pupils attending under each of the criteria listed

under the alternative application procedure.

The report covers the school year 2013-14.

The report was prepared by Jennifer Danfield, School Administration Consultant, with assistance from Donna

Wood, IS Systems Development Services Specialist; Michael Bormett, School Administration Consultant;

Kari Gensler Santistevan, Education Specialist; and Tricia Collins, Director, School Management Services.

Data for the report was gathered and compiled through the Open Enrollment Application Log (OPAL), an on-

line application and tracking system first used for the 2008-09 school year.

The public school open enrollment web site at http://dpi.wi.gov/oe provides general and specific information

about the public school open enrollment program, including an information brochure for parents, a link to the

on-line parent application (during the application period), links to the open enrollment statute and

administrative rules, links to statutory amendments to the program and to state and federal court decisions

affecting open enrollment, informational bulletins for school district administrators, the open enrollment

timetable, frequently-asked questions and other information.

Questions relating to the open enrollment program should be directed to the following Department of Public

Instruction (DPI) staff by mail at DPI, Public School Open Enrollment Program, PO Box 7841, Madison, WI,

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE FULL-TIME OPEN ENROLLMENT PROGRAM

Regular Application Procedure

The full-time open enrollment program is created in Wis. Stats. § 118.51. The administrative rules are in Wis.

Admin. Code ch. PI 36.

Under the full-time open enrollment program (open enrollment), pupils in grades kindergarten (including 4-year-old

kindergarten) to 12 may apply to attend any public school district in the state. Parents may apply for a child to attend

4-year-old kindergarten, prekindergarten, early childhood education, and school-operated day care only if the child’s

resident school district offers the same type of program and if the child is eligible for the program. A pupil is

permitted to submit applications to no more than three nonresident school boards in any school year.

A parent may apply for open enrollment during an annual application period. For the 1998-99 to 2010-11 school

years, applications were submitted during a three-week application period in February. In the 2011-12 school year,

significant changes were made to the open enrollment application procedures, including an extension of the three

week application period to three months (February through April) and the addition of an alternative application

procedure that allows parents to apply for open enrollment any time during the school year, if certain criteria are met.

School boards may deny pupils’ applications only for specific criteria set forth in the statute:

The school board of a nonresident school district (the school district the pupil wishes to attend) may deny a

pupil’s application only for the following reasons (and only if specified in school board policy):

o Space is not available in the school, program, class, or grade the pupil would attend. If there are more

applications than there are spaces available, the nonresident school board must accept or reject applications on

a random basis, except the school board must give preference to pupils who are already attending school in

the nonresident school district and to their siblings. A nonresident school board may adopt a policy that

guarantees approval to currently-attending pupils and/or siblings of currently-attending pupils. A nonresident

school board may create a waiting list of pupils whose applications were denied.

Union high school district boards must give preference and may guarantee approval to 8th graders from the

high school’s elementary feeder schools.

o The pupil has been expelled during the current or two preceding school years (or a disciplinary proceeding is

pending) for certain reasons.1 In addition, a nonresident school board may refuse to enroll a pupil if the pupil

is currently serving an expulsion that extends into the school year for which the pupil has applied for open

enrollment.2

o The pupil has been referred for an initial special education evaluation that has not been completed.

o The special education and related services required by a pupil’s individualized education program (IEP) are

not available in the nonresident school district or there is no space in the special education program or related

services required by the pupil’s IEP.

o Beginning in the 2010-11 school year, a nonresident school board may deny open enrollment to a pupil who

was habitually truant3 from that nonresident school district during either semester in the current school year

(that is, the school year during which the open enrollment application is submitted) or the previous school

year.

The school board of a resident school district (the school district in which the pupil resides) may deny a pupil’s

application only if the costs of the special education and related services required by the pupil’s IEP would

impose an undue financial burden on the resident school district.

Once a pupil is accepted into a nonresident school district under open enrollment, the pupil may be required by the

nonresident school board’s policy to reapply one time—and one time only—prior to the beginning of middle school,

junior high school, or high school.

If an open enrolled pupil becomes habitually truant, a nonresident school board may require the pupil to return to the

resident school district. A pupil in a virtual charter school is not subject to the compulsory school attendance law, but

may be required to return to the resident school district if, three times in the same semester, the pupil fails to respond

appropriately to an assignment or directive within five school days. 4

Open enrolled children with disabilities may be required to return to the resident school district if:

The nonresident school board determines that the pupil’s newly-developed or revised IEP requires special

education or related services that are not available in the nonresident school district.

The nonresident school board determines that there is no space in the special education and/or related services

required by the newly-developed or revised IEP.

The resident school board determines that the cost of providing the special education and/or related services

required by the newly-developed or revised IEP imposes an undue financial burden on the resident school district.

Alternative Application Procedure

2011 WI Act 114 created an alternative application procedure by which parents may apply for open enrollment at any

time during a school year, if any of the following criteria are met:

The pupil’s resident school board has determined that the pupil has been the victim of a violent criminal offense.

The application must be made within 30 days of the determination by the resident school board.

The pupil is or has been homeless in the current or preceding school year.

The pupil has been the victim of repeated bullying and harassment, the bullying or harassment has been reported

to the pupil’s resident school board and, despite any action taken, the bullying or harassment continues.

The pupil’s or parent’s residence has changed as a result of military orders. The application must be made within

30 days after the date the military orders were issued.

The pupil moved into the state. The application must be submitted within 30 days after moving into the state.

The pupil’s residence has changed as a result of a court order or custody agreement or because the pupil was

placed in or removed from a foster home or the home of a person other than the pupil’s parent. The application

must be made within 30 days of the pupil’s change of residence.

The pupil’s parent, the nonresident school board, and the resident school board agree that attending the

nonresident school district is in the pupil’s best interests.

Page 9: The Wisconsin Inter-District Public School Open Enrollment ... · 2013-14 A Report to the Governor and Legislature Prepared by: Jennifer Danfield School Administration Consultant

5

The pupil’s parent and the nonresident school board agree (but the pupil’s resident school board disagrees) that

attending the nonresident school district is in the pupil’s best interests. If the pupil’s resident school board

prevents the pupil from transferring, the parent may file an appeal with the DPI.

The nonresident school board may deny an application under the alternative procedure for the same reasons it may

deny applications submitted under the regular application procedure. The resident school board may deny the

application if it determines that the cost to provide special education and related services to a child with a disability in

the nonresident school district is an undue financial burden to the resident school district (except that the resident

school board may not deny an application if the resident school board has determined that the pupil is the victim of a

violent criminal offense). The resident school board may also deny an application if it determines that the transfer is

not in the pupil’s best interests or that the criteria upon which the application is based do not apply to the pupil.

Appeals

If an application submitted during the regular application period was denied by either the nonresident or resident

school board, the parent or pupil may appeal the denial to the DPI within 30 days of the date the notice is mailed or

personally delivered to the parent. The DPI is required to uphold the school board’s decision unless the DPI finds that

the decision was arbitrary or unreasonable.

If an application submitted under the alternative application procedure is denied by the resident school board, the

parent or pupil may appeal the denial to the DPI within 30 days of the date the notice is mailed or personally delivered

to the parent. The DPI is required to uphold the school board’s decision unless the DPI finds that the decision was

arbitrary or unreasonable, except if a resident school board denies an application based on the best interests of the

pupil, the DPI must overturn the decision if the DPI determines the denial is not in the best interests of the pupil.

A nonresident school board’s denial of an application submitted under the alternative application procedure may not

be appealed to the DPI.

Funding

Open enrollment is funded by an increase in the state aid payment for nonresident school districts and a decrease in

the state aid payment for resident school districts (the final state aid payment is increased or decreased by the net of

the transfers in and transfers out).5 This is commonly referred to as an aid “transfer.” For the years 1998-99 to 2012-

13, the basic amount of state aid transferred for each regular education open enrollment pupil is equal to the statewide

average per pupil cost for regular instruction, co-curricular activities, instruction support services, and pupil support

services in the previous school year.

In the 2012-13 school year, the per pupil transfer amount was decreased by $544. This corresponds closely to the

average ($554) reduction in the allowable per pupil revenue limit for the 2011-12 school year that was imposed by the

2011 WI Act 32.

For the 2013-14 school year, the per pupil transfer amount was equal to the prior year’s transfer amount plus $150.

For special education, there is no increase or reduction of state aid payments. Instead, the resident school board pays

the nonresident school board directly. The amount of the payment is equal to the open enrollment per pupil transfer

amount plus only the actual, additional cost incurred by the nonresident school board to provide special education and

related services to the pupil.6

2005-06 $5,682 $104,027,886

2006-07 $5,845 $118,740,934

The money transferred under open enrollment is not considered in determining a school district’s revenue limit. That

is, a resident school board may not raise its tax levy to replace the loss of state aid for pupils enrolling in other school

districts. Conversely, a nonresident school board receiving a pupil is not required to reduce its revenue limit by the

amount of the state aid increase.

III. APPLICATIONS AND TRANSFERS

The following tables provide summary data on the number of applications received each school year and how many

pupils transferred each school year. For the 2013-14 school year, the data are provided separately for applications

submitted during the regular application period and those submitted under the alternative application procedure.

The data report the number of applications submitted, not the number of individual pupils submitting applications. An

individual pupil may apply to up to three nonresident school districts in a school year, each application submitted by

the pupil is counted as a separate application.

As required in Wis. Stats. § 118.51 (15) (c) 2. and 4., the number of alternative applications and transfers resulting

from those applications for 2013-14 are also reported separately by the criteria upon which the alternative applications

were based. The total of the number of applications and transfers listed by criteria may exceed the total number of

applications and transfers because an application may have been based on multiple criteria.

“Apps,” whether regular apps or alt apps, refers to the total number of applications submitted for the given school

year. “New transfers” is the number of transfer pupils resulting from those applications and is reported separately for

regular apps and alt apps. “Continuing transfers” is the number of pupils who were open enrolled in the prior school

year and who are continuing to attend the nonresident school district under open enrollment, regardless of when they

originally applied or the type of application they originally submitted.

Note: the sum of the number of denials by reason may differ from the total number of denials. The

sum may be greater than the total number of denials, because applications may be denied for more

than one reason. The sum may be less than the total number of denials, because a school district may

have reported the denial but not the reason(s) for the denial.
