Important Update for Lakota Families: New Open Enrollment Rules Effective Next School Year

Lakota Local Schools has updated its open enrollment policies due to an increase in student numbers, especially from kindergarten to sixth grade. Starting in the 2024-25 school year, open enrollment will be limited to the children of Lakota staff and students currently enrolled in grades 7-12. This change is designed to help manage the growing number of students effectively.

Under the revised policy, new non-employee students in the lower grades will not be eligible for open enrollment. This measure follows Administrative Guideline 5113, which supports maintaining high-quality education and adequate resources for all students. The district is focusing on accommodating the needs of its staff and current students under these new enrollment conditions.

Eligible staff and students in grades 7-12 must apply for open enrollment by following instructions sent via district email. New staff members should email the district to request an application form.

The application deadline for open enrollment is May 31, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. Applications must be submitted either in person at the Welcome Center or via secure email, allowing the district to prepare adequately for the new school year.
