Superintendent reports steady enrollment, awaits May 14 state forecast; highlights facilities work and events
Summary
Superintendent Duff told the Milton-Freewater Unified SD 7 board enrollment is steady at about 1,543 students and the district is awaiting the state’s May 14 economic forecast that could affect roughly 90% of district funding; he also noted rapid facilities work on a barn project, upcoming events and Crystal Apple awards.
Superintendent Duff provided a multi-part report to the board, beginning with finance and enrollment. He said the district is awaiting the state economic forecast due May 14 and that state funding accounts for "a little over 90%" of the district’s funding. "We're really waiting on a May 14 forecast... that's gonna be the economic forecast from the state," Duff said, and added that a substantially lower forecast could affect state funding for the district.
Duff reported district enrollment as "15 43" in the transcript (interpreted as approximately 1,543 students), and described steady overall numbers with some students arriving and departing. He highlighted upcoming events—choir, FFA placings, graduation practice and graduation on the 7th—and praised recent student accomplishments. On facilities, he said construction has progressed rapidly at the Ferris Ale site, describing the erection of a flat pad and roof over a few days and noting grounds crews are preparing for district events. Duff asked board members to attend Crystal Apple awards and said a grand opening for the barn will be scheduled when construction completes.
