Trustees approve two nonresident elementary enrollments; board hears Harmony program enrollment surge
Summary
The Stevensville trustees approved two nonresident elementary student enrollments on the consent agenda and heard that the Harmony program enrollment jumped from 11 to 34, prompting a community meeting at Revive Church to engage interested families.
Trustees approved administrative recommendations to accept two nonresident elementary student enrollments as part of the consent agenda.
A trustee moved to "accept the administrative recommendations for enrollment for the nonresident elementary students as presented," the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting record shows affirmative responses from several trustees and the chair declared the motion passed.
During board comments, a district staff member reported a surge in interest in the Harmony program: new elementary enrollments increased from 11 to 34 since the last count. The staff member said the district had organized a meeting for parents and homeschool families at Revive Church at 6 p.m. on Thursday to provide information and meet families considering Harmony.
Trustees discussed implications for scheduling and families, including concerns about childcare on potential four-day school schedules and how neighboring districts adopting Harmony could influence local enrollment patterns. The board noted they will monitor enrollment and leave space on the district roster for the returning students.
The consent agenda item approving the two nonresident enrollments was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote; no separate roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
