The Coquille School District #8 projects an ending general-fund balance of approximately $1,031,000 for the fiscal year, Business Manager Denise Hale told the board on Feb. 11.
Superintendent Wayne Gallagher said current enrollment is 1,181 students and is projected to decline to about 1,130 next year — a drop the district estimated at roughly 145 students over three years. Gallagher said the trend will require evaluation of staffing levels and operational costs as the district prepares for the upcoming budget cycle.
Board members asked questions about transportation schedules and student access to breakfast; staff confirmed students can receive breakfast upon arrival at school. The board received corrected packet copies after a printing error was noted.
