Committee presses for clarity on enrollment trends; member urges 16:1 target
Summary
Committee members raised concerns about declining enrollment and requested clearer data on classroom sizes and student interest; Christopher Wytoski advocated for a 16:1 student–teacher ratio target.
Committee members reviewed enrollment trends, with staff reporting declines due to smaller incoming classes and large graduating cohorts. The district explained some low-interest classes are not offered so resources can be optimized; committee members requested clearer data on actual classroom sizes and student interest to better inform staffing and scheduling decisions.
Christopher Wytoski advocated for establishing a 16:1 student–teacher ratio target, and members Sean Burke and Jeffery Crapper noted that support roles can skew average class-size calculations. The committee asked staff for additional detail on classroom-level enrollment and course demand to guide allocations in the coming school year.
