Board allows out‑of‑district homeschooled student to enroll part time under state law

The board approved a request July 14 allowing an out‑of‑district homeschooled student to participate part time in the district’s You program, consistent with state part‑time attendance law and the district’s space availability.

Administrators explained that state law allows homeschooled students to attend public schools part time, with districts required to permit enrollment when space exists. Staff noted the student lives in Green Bay’s district but sought courses in the district’s program; the district has historically accepted open‑enrolled students and homeschoolers under the state rules when space permits. If needed, fees (including parking permits) may apply for part‑time attendees.

Vote: the motion to approve the out‑of‑district homeschooled student’s participation carried unanimously.
