Abstract: This report is prepared pursuant to Wisconsin Statute § 118.51(15)(c), as amended in 2011 Wisconsin Act 114, which requires the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to annually submit a report to the governor and to the appropriate standing committees of the legislature under Wisconsin Statute § 13.172(3). This report covers school year 2024-25 and includes: (1) the number of pupils who applied to attend public school in a nonresident school district under the full-time open enrollment program; (2) the number of applications received under the regular and alternative application procedures, and for the applications received under the alternative application procedure, the number of applications received under each of the criteria listed under the alternative application procedure; (3) the number of applications denied and the basis for the denials; and (4) the number of pupils attending public school in a nonresident school district under the open enrollment program. The report also specifies, separately, the number of pupils attending public school in a nonresident school district whose applications were accepted under the regular application procedure and the alternative application procedure, and for the applications submitted under the alternative application procedures, the number of pupils attending under each of the criteria listed under the alternative application procedure. Data for the report was gathered and compiled through the Open Enrollment Application Log (OPAL), an online application and tracking system in use since the 2008-09 school year.
