At the January 25, 2010 meeting, the School Board approved guaranteed seats for eligible students currently attending school in Brown Deer, who apply for Open Enrollment for the 2010-11 school year. The Board did not guarantee seats for siblings of currently attending students who apply for the 2010-11 school year. Preference will be given to siblings of currently attending students.
One (1) seat at the third grade is available for the 2010-11 school year. The District will develop a waiting list, and if fewer students than expected are enrolled in August, the District will contact parents of students on the list before August 20, 2010.
Annually, the Board will determine whether or not seats will be guaranteed for currently attending students who are applying for Open Enrollment and/or to siblings of currently attending students.
