Summary

Assistant Superintendent Brian Graves reported the district was about 46 students down from its fifth-day count year-over-year, with recent month-to-month gains and notable increases at Hubbard, Ross and Fremont tied to zoning shifts.

Assistant Superintendent Brian Graves presented the district’s enrollment update, using the fifth-day count as the standard measurement. Graves reported that the district has roughly 5,700 students by the fifth-day measure and that the current count is 46 students fewer than the prior year’s fifth-day total.

Graves noted short-term gains over the last two months — an increase of 16 students districtwide since October 31 — and explained school-level changes tied to boundary adjustments. He said Hubbard had 87 more students and Ross had 36 more students than at the last day of school last year; Fremont showed a 38-student increase. Kuna Middle reported 30 more students.

Graves emphasized that different comparison baselines (fifth-day vs. last day of school vs. October 1) can produce differing impressions at individual schools and recommended trustees look at monthly tracking for a clearer picture. He offered to provide school-level breakdowns to trustees on request.
