Board approves limited enrollment slots for 2025–26; preschool wait list grows
Summary
The board approved the 2025–26 Stanfield Secondary School enrollment by grade, opening limited slots in certain grades while keeping numbers below the approved caps. Staff reported high demand for preschool and growing wait lists for three- and four-year-old programs.
Trustees approved the district’s proposed 2025–26 enrollment-by-grade plan, which opens limited slots in targeted grade levels while remaining below the district cap.
Board member (speaker 5) moved to approve the enrollment-by-grade plan and the motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote. Administrators said the openings will not drastically increase classroom size and that slots will be advertised; secretaries will direct callers to the district website for updated slot counts.
Separately, school staff (speaker 7) reported that kindergarten "jump start" had 17 children and preschool wait lists had grown (3‑year‑old wait list at 8, 4‑year‑old wait list at 3). Staff said preschool demand remains high and noted collaboration opportunities with Head Start to serve families who cannot afford private preschool.
