Hobbs Schools reports 80‑day enrollment of 10,169; attendance measures holding steady
Summary
District staff reported 80‑day membership and enrollment figures and said 40‑to‑80‑day comparisons show modest changes; chronic absenteeism measures remain a focus.
Hobbs Municipal Schools reported an 80‑day membership enrollment of 10,169 for the 2024–25 school year, district staff told the board. The presenter said membership was 98.96 and full‑time‑equivalent (FTE) membership about 98.29.
District staff explained that membership reflects funding units while enrollment counts actual students. The presenter said actual student bodies were higher than the 80‑day snapshot taken on Dec. 2, and that the district will use the 120‑day average later in the year for final funding calculations.
Comparing 40‑day to 80‑day snapshots, presenters said the district saw only small changes: most schools showed differences around zero, with the largest single increase about 5 percent. Staff noted the district is “maintaining” attendance levels at a point in the year when numbers often fall.
Board members asked routine clarifying questions; no formal action was taken on the enrollment report.
The attendance presentation also included descriptions of district outreach and incentives from the previous semester and plans for the current semester; staff said they partnered with the junior college and athletics and used banners and messaging to encourage attendance.
