Discussion Items
7.01 Open Enrollment In Application
We have received an open enrollment in application for Nicole Lunsford (10th grade) on September 26th. She had been attending TJ. There has been a change in guardianship but not a change in residency. She still lives in the CB school district. Because there has not been a change in residence, we do not believe this meets any of the good cause criteria and therefore what we have is a late filed open enrollment application.
