Parent urges district to allow transfers into Woodcreek High, cites enrollment data
Summary
In public comment, Deepraj asked the board to allow some non‑sibling intra‑district transfers into Woodcreek High School, arguing recent enrollment figures indicate the campus has capacity and that transfers would be disruptive to affected students’ lives.
During the public comment period, resident Deepraj addressed the board about an intra‑district transfer request affecting Woodcreek High School. Deepraj said they had spoken with district staff (Melanie Dobson) and reviewed feeder middle‑school numbers, and argued that Woodcreek — which once enrolled about 2,100 students in the 2010–2021 period — has seen enrollment dip below 2,000 for the past five years and that the school’s current enrollment (cited as 1,875 at graduation in 2024) suggests room to accept transfers.
Deepraj asked the board to reconsider a district position that non‑sibling transfers into Woodcreek would not be considered because the board had decided to close a campus, and urged the trustees to permit some students to transfer back into the community school. The chair thanked Deepraj for the comments and said staff would follow up with Melanie Dobson to review the enrollment numbers and be in contact with Deepraj.
No formal action was taken during the meeting; the board committed to follow up.
