From: DPI Open Enrollment Sent: Monday, February 18, 2019 8:25 AM To: Demrow, Jennifer DPI Subject: Deleting Unnecessary Open Enrollment Applications To – District Administrators and Open Enrollment Coordinators From – Jen Demrow, Open Enrollment Consultant Subject –Deleting Unnecessary Open Enrollment Applications A number of parents reapply for open enrollment when they are not required to do so. These applications should be deleted. Your first step in removing the unnecessary applications is to contact the parent and ask them to delete it. The parent may delete the application up until the last day of the regular application period, which is 4:00pm on April 30th. The parent will need to sign back into their application (by going to the OE website and clicking on the green button located at the top of the webpage) and follow the instructions on how to delete applications. Otherwise, and after the end of the application period, the nonresident district can request deletion using the instructions below. There are only three reasons why a district can request deletion: a duplicate application, the pupil is already open enrolled, or a reapplication required by the nonresident district. These are the only reason why we at DPI will delete an application. **Reminder: pupils who are already open enrolled based on an alternative application do not need to reapply during the regular application period. The only time that a pupil needs to reapply for open enrollment is if the nonresident district requires it at the beginning of middle school, junior high, or high school.** How to request deletion of an application: to the right of the student’s entry in the Applications list, click Delete. Enter the reason for deletion and click Yes, Delete It. This will not delete the application, but will send us an email requesting the application be deleted. (Note: only the nonresident district can request deletion.) If you do not enter a reason for deletion, we will need to follow up with you before determining whether or not the application can be deleted. If your district does require reapplication and if the parent submits the reapplication online, please print a copy for your records and request deletion at the end of the application period. Please do not submit deletion requests multiple times for the same application. If you have clicked the submit button, the request has been submitted. If you are unsure if you submitted a deletion request for a specific pupil, please send us an email and we will look it up for you. We will not be completing deletions until after the end of the application period. If you have any questions, please contact us at 888-245-2732, option 2 or openenrollment@dpi.wi.gov.
