Superintendent warns three-year enrollment decline could force staffing cuts
Summary
Superintendent reported a drop of about 145 students over three years and projected next year's enrollment near 1,130; he told the board that staffing levels cannot be sustained at current levels if the trend continues.
The superintendent presented multi-year enrollment data showing a decline of roughly 145 students over three years and projected next-year enrollment near 1,130. He told the board, "In a 3 year window down a 145 students, we cannot continue to operate at the staffing levels that we currently have," and said he would provide detailed options in executive session.
He reviewed historical trends, noting the district's prior pattern of starting the year low and finishing higher had shifted: "When you look at our data over the last 3 years, where we started in October and where we ended at April is almost identical." The superintendent flagged the drop as a real concern and linked it directly to forthcoming budget discussions.
