School officials launch urgent campaign to boost enrollment

In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the current enrollment status of students as the new school year begins. The district is facing a notable decrease of approximately 800 students compared to the end of the previous school year. Efforts are underway to encourage these students to return to school, with staff actively making phone calls to families.

Officials noted that some students may not have returned due to various reasons, including migration and differing school start dates across districts. The team is focused on reaching out to these families to ascertain the reasons for their absence and to ensure that students are enrolled in appropriate educational settings.

While the district is gathering information on students who have not returned, officials acknowledged that they do not yet have complete data on whether these students have transferred to other districts. The ongoing outreach efforts aim to clarify the situation and facilitate the return of students to classrooms.
