Summary

Edinburg CISD reported total enrollment of 32,483 on Dec. 5, 2025, a net decline of 895 students versus last year; staff cited homeschooling, migration and pending migrant students as contributors and said the district is auditing records to confirm transfers.

Freddy Martinez presented the district’s enrollment snapshot dated Dec. 5, 2025 (day 73 of the school year). Martinez reported elementary enrollment at 16,202 (net −488), middle schools at 6,497 (net −141) and high schools at 9,784 (net −266), for a district total of 32,483 and a net loss of 895 students compared with the prior year’s comparable day.

Martinez said 108 migrant students were pending re‑enrollment and that the district had seen withdrawals to homeschooling and out‑of‑state moves; the district is auditing homeschool documentation and using internal checks (Project Check) and TSDS/TSCS data sources to validate student transfers. Martinez offered to provide further breakdowns (e.g., how many students moved to neighboring school districts or charter schools) in a future report if trustees requested it.

Trustees asked staff to focus on marketing and outreach to return students and said they wanted a follow‑up item at the next meeting on how many students were brought back to the district. Martinez said the district is running checks twice monthly to verify records and avoid data‑validation flags in state audits.
