Enrollment drop lowers revenue projection by $179,000, superintendent says
Summary
Coquille SD 8 reported May enrollment of 1,158 and an annual average of 1,179—21 students below the budgeted 1,200—which the superintendent said will reduce next-year potential revenue by $179,000 and prompted staffing and scheduling changes.
The superintendent reported that May enrollment fell to 1,158 and that the year-to-date average is 1,179, 21 students below the district’s budgeted figure of 1,200. "That is a decrease in overall potential revenue for next year of $179,000," the superintendent told the board, and said the state will make an enrollment adjustment in May 2027.
To mitigate the shortfall the superintendent said the district will not fill some open positions, will convert some positions to part-time (including a 0.5 food-service secretary post), and will use attrition and role changes. The superintendent said these adjustments, together with negotiated contract savings, should largely cover the projected revenue loss.
Board discussion moved quickly to the budget motion after the presentation; the transcript records no extended public debate on the enrollment adjustment during the meeting.
