Summary

Administration presented Forecast5-based enrollment projections showing a small increase for 2025'26 and proposed sectioning adjustments across schools; board will finalize section counts after registration.

District administration presented enrollment projections using Forecast5 birth data and three-year cohort survival rates; the board was told total projected enrollment for 2025'26 is approximately 1,437 students, a slight uptick from current counts.

The projections included grade-level and school-level detail used to recommend classroom sectioning: for example, projected first-grade and third-grade counts informed recommendations to adjust core teachers (the memo lists net section changes and classroom-average guidelines). Administrators noted one potential reduction (one Kindergarten or 1st-grade section at Eisenhower) would be decided after registration. The staffing plan and sectioning assumptions will be finalized in late spring and at the start of summer registration.
