The district reported Aug. 28 that 41 school-choice seats were approved for the year and that 26 had been filled for the fall term.
Administrators said they graduated 15 seats and experienced six additional attritions, producing a net increase and allowing the district to allocate several seats into kindergarten French immersion and first grade to round out class numbers. District leaders said they continue to monitor open seats and enrollments but that the current acceptance pattern is consistent with their targets.
The committee heard that administrators focused school-choice placements on grades and programs with space needs, especially kindergarten French immersion, where the district had been carrying lower enrollments.
