Subject - New on DPI Open Enrollment Web Site -- Suggested Formats for Notices 
of Denial of Continued Open Enrollment 

We have created new suggested formats for school districts to use when 
notifying parents of currently open enrolled students that their child's 
continued open enrollment has been denied and that the child is being required 
to return to his/her resident district.  The letters can be found on the open 
enrollment web site under the topic of "DPI Bulletins and Suggested Formats" 
at http://dpi.wi.gov/sms/infscdst.html. 

These letters can be used when a currently open enrolled student's IEP is 
developed or revised and the student is required to return to the resident 
district:

1. By the resident district because the special education costs resulting from 
the student's new or revised IEP would represent an undue financial burden on 
the resident district; or

2. By the nonresident district because the special education services required 
in the student's new or revised IEP are not available in the nonresident 
school district; or  

3. By the nonresident district because space is not available in the special 
education services required in the student's new or revised IEP. 

Please note that each letter requires the school district to indicate the date 
on which the student's IEP was developed or revised IEP and provide additional 
information in an attachment.  If you have any questions, please contact me.
