Dr. Angle Diggs, the district Director of Special Services, told the board the district's current enrollment is 897 students: 423 at Barack Obama, 399 at Jesse White Learning Academy (JWLA) and 75 out-of-district placements. He said the Special Services office is coordinating registration and placement for students with IEPs.
