Board reviews 74 out-of-district students and $990,000 revenue impact
Summary
Trustees heard that 74 out-of-district students generate roughly $990,000 for the district; discussion focused on balancing financial benefit against community concerns and special-education caseloads.
The board reviewed current out-of-district enrollment and its fiscal implications. A board member cited a district roster showing 74 out-of-district students and estimated the associated revenue at about $990,000. Members discussed the advantages (stabilizing class sizes and revenue) and community concerns when a majority of students in some classes are non-resident.
Trustees also asked whether out-of-district students have a different incidence of behavioral or special-education needs; staff said overall percentages were not higher than in-district averages. The board requested more detailed breakdowns (including how many out-of-district students carry higher support needs) to inform future admission and budgeting discussions.
