District enrollment bounces; kindergarten surge helps offset losses at secondary levels
Summary
District staff reported volatile, day-to-day enrollment with a recent kindergarten surge; board members asked for clarity on program reporting and cautioned about the upcoming 10‑day count that historically reduces headcount used for budget calculations.
District finance staff presented an enrollment snapshot showing daily volatility and a recent kindergarten surge. Tom said the starting snapshot was about 3,628 students and staff noted fluctuations during the first days of school; "So just up and down... the people are still enrolling," he reported.
Board members pressed for clarity around program counts such as Sequoia and hybrid programs that may be reported under the high school, and asked whether a 66-student apparent drop in the high-school roster was a formatting artifact. Staff said the district often reports Sequoia and hybrid program students under Silverton High School for state reporting; the board agreed to monitor the 10-day drop that will be reflected in next week's official counts.
