At the Sept. 9 School Town of Speedway Board of Trustees meeting, district staff reported total enrollment of 1,696 students, up 18 from the August figure of 1,678. The staff report said all K–3 classes in the district have 20 or fewer students and that 30 of 34 K–3 sections have 18 or fewer students.

Intermediate grades (4–6) have 18 sections, each with 25 or fewer students, and 10 of those sections have 20 or fewer, the report said. The junior high had 219 students and the high school had 582 students, with class-by-class totals of 140, 154, 154 and 134 in grades 9–12. District staff said current trends suggest the high school population may decline over the coming years if enrollments hold at present levels.

Superintendent-level staff told trustees the September enrollment figure typically rises again by the October report. Trustees did not make any immediate staffing or policy decisions at the meeting based on the enrollment report.
