Public School Open Enrollment Appeals Information

 

A parent may appeal a resident or nonresident school board’s denial to the Department of Public Instruction within 30 days of the date the notice of denial was postmarked or delivered to the parent, whichever is earlier.

The Department is required to affirm the school board’s decision unless it finds the decision was arbitrary or unreasonable. This means if the school board adopted policies, if its policies are in compliance with state law, and if it followed its policies exactly and without exception, its decision is likely to be affirmed.
