Board members press administration on enrollment, home-school outreach and committee proposal
Summary
Directors discussed enrollment as the district's primary revenue driver and proposed forming an Enrollment Committee; administrators suggested encouraging home-school students to multi-enroll to capture state revenue.
Directors at the June 4 budget meeting emphasized that enrollment is the primary driver of district revenue and linked enrollment trends to staffing and budget decisions.
Director Isom asked about athletic fees and noted those fees did not appear to reflect rising costs; Dr. Fritz responded that the district's primary lever for revenue is enrollment and encouraged outreach to home-school families, suggesting multi-enrollment (for example, taking at least one class) to allow the district to receive state shared revenue tied to enrollment.
Director Isom formally recommended creating an Enrollment Committee to coordinate program offerings and outreach; Dr. Fritz said administration is already taking steps related to recruitment and program refinement and Chair Bangs requested an information sheet showing proposed cuts should state revenue decline.
The transcript documents discussion and direction but does not record specific new expenditures or a formal vote to create a committee.
