At its Nov. 3 meeting, the Board of Education decided to revisit the resolution they approved regarding school closure and consolidation at the October 27, 2026 meeting by considering an amendment to that resolution. The Board needs time to finish that process and will be scheduling a special meeting no later than November 13, 2026 to complete their work. It is important that families who intend to apply for School of Choice have accurate information about their options before they submit Choice applications for the 2027-28 school year. For both reasons, it is anticipated that the first-consideration School Choice application period will now open at 8 a.m. on Monday, November 30, 2026.
What this means for your family:
- School of Choice applications will not open on Nov. 4 as originally communicated. Instead, applications can be submitted beginning Nov. 30. The deadline for first consideration application submissions is still December 16, 2026.
- New student and kindergarten registration will also begin on Nov. 30. You can register at olr.psdschools.org.
- More details are coming. Before the window opens, we will share updated information to make sure every family has clear, accurate information about their school options.
Should the district be able to open the School Choice application period and the new student and kindergarten student registration period sooner, this will be communicated to families.
