Board hears enrollment shortfall in early grades, first grade class sizes present challenges
Summary
October enrollment is within 3.35 FTE of projections; grades 1–4 lower than expected while grades 9–12 are higher. First grade configuration raises class‑size concerns with 26 students split into two classrooms.
The Stevenson‑Carson School District reported on Oct. 23 that October enrollment is within 3.35 full‑time‑equivalent (FTE) students of projections. Administrators told the board that student counts were lower than expected in grades 1–4, higher in grades 9–12, and mostly unchanged in grades 7–8.
The minutes note an operational concern in first grade: two classrooms combined hold 26 students (13 in each classroom), which creates tension between running one larger classroom versus two very small class sections. The board discussed enrollment trends as they relate to budgeting and class configurations; no specific staffing motions were recorded at the Oct. 23 meeting.
