Summary
Superintendent Dr. Stanley told the board the division’s ADM is approximately 120 students below projection (7,260 excluding pre‑K), which staff estimates reduces revenue by about $1 million and will prompt conservative budgeting until spring.
Superintendent Dr. Stanley reported Nov. 10 that Campbell County Public Schools’ average daily membership is approximately 120 students below projections, which staff estimate will translate into about $1 million less revenue for the division this fiscal year. "Our student enrollment was down a 120 students... That's a million dollars out of our budget," Dr. Stanley told the board.
Context: The shortfall follows the division’s recent attendance and reporting cycle and comes amid turnover at the state level that Dr. Stanley said could affect performance and support framework communications from the state. Board members were told senior staff discussed the budget with a conservative spending posture and will revisit decisions in the spring when enrollment and revenue figures are clearer.
What the board will do next: Dr. Stanley said principals were informed that large staffing or programmatic requests should be deferred until spring when the budget picture is more certain. The board will monitor ADM and state guidance before approving major allocations.
