Summary

Staff told the board projected FTE for the coming year is about 11,100; members noted recent student withdrawals (roughly 20–27 in a recent month) and that the district has been losing about 300–400 students annually. The enrollment outlook affects funding and FTE-based state allocations.

Board members asked how student losses were factored into the tentative budget. Tanjara said projected full-time-equivalent (FTE) students for the upcoming year are about 11,100.

One committee member reported that in a recent period about 20–27 students had withdrawn, with roughly four going out of state; another member said the district has been reducing enrollment by about 300–400 students per year. Tanjara said the adjusted FTE was used in state funding projections (FEFP equivalents) but she did not provide a precise total district enrollment figure in the meeting record.

Board members flagged the enrollment trend as a recurring pressure on revenue and asked staff to continue monitoring attrition as the budget is finalized.
