New seats will be added in sixth and seventh grades, and possibly ninth grade. The total number of students enrolling through the state program, however, is projected to decrease.
The Greendale School Board has approved adding students through the state's Open Enrollment program for the 2013-14 school year. The board approved 13 new seats at the sixth-grade level, three new seats at seventh grade and left open the possibility of additional seats at ninth grade. Administrators recommended 14 new seats at ninth grade, but the board opted to wait for a more clear picture of enrollment to ensure the high school isn't overcrowded.
