Kashia Elementary reports declining enrollment; automatic lapsation threshold near
Summary
Superintendent reported enrollment of eight students and average daily attendance (ADA) of 6.45; automatic lapsation is triggered below 6.00 ADA, prompting discussion of recruitment and potential consequences for district status.
At the April 9 meeting the superintendent reported current enrollment of eight students and an ADA of 6.45. Staff noted declining student performance and said the district is actively advertising to recruit a multiple-subject credentialed teacher.
Meeting materials and staff discussion flagged automatic lapsation as a statutory process that is triggered if ADA falls below 6.00. Board members discussed enrollment and staffing amid concerns about the district's small size and the operational impacts if ADA declines further.
No formal action to change district status, consolidate, or initiate lapsation was taken at the meeting. Staff and trustees indicated continued outreach and recruitment efforts; the board set future agenda items, including the 2025–26 budget and LCAP public hearing.
