GOOD NEWS FOR THE RIPON SCHOOL DISTRICT

Despite the uncertainty over the referendum and the other issues involving, or not involving (who knows), the district, it seems people still want to send their children here, and, for that, we should be proud and realize we have a very attractive, high-performing, district:

Open enrollment continues to draw a lot of students to the district, but lately, the number of students is more than the district can handle. Ripon School Superintendent, Richard Zimman, says currently, they only way students from outside the district will get accepted is if there is any room available in the respective grade-level. Zimman says in order to be fair to all the students applying; they use a public lottery approach to decide who can come into the district, and who cannot. So far, the district has received 51 applications for open enrollment, and has accepted 35. - From wrpnam.com
