Summary

Administrators reported small short-term enrollment declines but projected kindergarten enrollment of about 22–23 students next year and said preschool numbers and waiting lists will inform detailed planning in April.

District staff (S2) told the board the district is "a few kids down on enrollment" compared with earlier months but that kindergarten projections for next year look to be in the low-to-mid 20s. "22 to 23 for kindergarten next year is what we'll look to start up," the staff member said, and noted preschool numbers are being reviewed to refine outreach and planning.

Staff recommended conducting kindergarten roundups in April and said they will monitor waiting lists and family transfer requests; the board discussed logistics and asked staff to return with more detailed enrollment spreadsheets as part of budget planning.
