District enrollment dips by 40 students, ADA shows continued decline
Summary
An enrollment presentation to the Lompoc Unified board reported a year-over-year loss of 40 students and an approximate 70-student drop in average daily attendance, with staff noting P‑2/P‑annual reporting timing affects funding calculations.
A district enrollment presenter told the board that “it's a negative 40,” meaning total enrollment at the end of the year declined by 40 students compared with the previous year. The presenter described ongoing trends of declining ADA and explained that the P‑2 and annual reporting windows significantly influence funding because most state funding is tied to those snapshots.
The presenter also noted that the district added preschool last year and continued to expand OTK offerings, which affected counts, and said staff are improving data systems to better link usage data, standards and attendance for clearer program evaluation. Board members asked clarifying questions about site usage and annual reevaluation of programs.
