Royse City ISD reports enrollment decline, nearly 400 local voucher applicants
Summary
Royse City ISD reported live enrollment of 10,289 students and said roughly 400 residents applied for vouchers under the program referred to in the meeting as the 'Texas Education Freedom Act' (TIFA); the district will receive names from the state to reconcile enrollments.
Superintendent Dr. Anderson said the district's live enrollment is 10,289 and that enrollment has trended below the projections used when voters approved the bond. "It's actually 10,289 is our current enrollment," she said, and explained the district is using an "intent month" outreach program and kindergarten/preschool enrollment nights to attract students.
Dr. Anderson told the meeting that nearly 400 people living in the district have applied for what the transcript called the "Texas Education Freedom Act" vouchers; the district will receive names from the state in April to determine how many voucher applicants are currently enrolled locally. She cautioned that the number of applicants could exceed the state's allocation and lead to denials, and said the district plans targeted outreach once names are released.
