District reports 1,548 total enrollment and flags potential state funding cuts
Summary
Staff reported an initial district enrollment count of about 1,548 students, highlighted a small kindergarten class of 102, and warned that ODE has asked for reduction plans up to 5% which could affect SIA and Measure 98 funding.
District staff (S3) reported enrollment for the first count of the year as "15 48 is, the number of heads" (transcript). S3 clarified kindergarten enrollment at 102 and a district average around 123; staff said some grades experienced unexpected increases while others were small. "That's a little bit higher than what we had last year," S3 said when describing the overall headcount.
S3 also warned of possible state-driven reductions: ODE asked districts on Oct. 1 to prepare reduction plans up to 5% tied to lower federal tax receipts, and staff said the district will review economic forecasts in November and December to assess impacts on SIA, Measure 98 and high-school success funding. S3 said the federal shutdown had not had an immediate effect but could create downstream reimbursement issues at the state level.
