Superintendent: enrollment steady at ~88; $19,000 in county mental-health funds to add counselor time
Summary
Superintendent reported December enrollment at 88 students and said the district received a little over $19,000 from county mental-health/chemical-tax allocation to fund an additional half-day per week of counseling starting in January.
The superintendent reported December enrollment at 88 students and said the district expects that number to be 87 in January after one senior transferred to an online program. The superintendent said enrollment is holding steady compared with the previous year.
The superintendent also said the district received an allocation of just over $19,000 from the county mental-health/chemical tax and plans to spend those funds with a local provider (Comprehensive Health Care) to provide an additional half day per week of counseling services beginning in January. Currently one counselor visits the district for a full day each Monday; the added half-day would expand access for students.
The superintendent said the district has collected 46–50 responses to a listening-session survey that will inform strategic planning. The district also launched a recruitment advertisement campaign on Facebook using SchoolMint to try to attract additional families to the district for the coming semester.
Board members expressed support for expanding counseling time and for outreach to boost enrollment. No formal action was taken; the superintendent will proceed with implementing the counseling plan and continue outreach work.
