Superintendent flags OSPI priorities, possible graduation requirement changes and projected enrollment drop

Superintendent presented a state-level overview and district priorities, saying the district’s five commitments—math, English language arts, attendance, graduation rate and building Evergreen Elementary—align with OSPI priorities. He told the board the state projects an enrollment decline of 30,000 students across Washington in the next five years and an increase of 15,000 students requiring special education, and he said those projections have budgetary implications for districts.
