South Umpqua board hears report on enrollment dip, outreach planned
Summary
Superintendent Bare reported a districtwide enrollment decline—most pronounced at the high school—bringing total reported enrollment to 1,375 and prompting planned outreach to families who chose homeschooling or online options.
Superintendent Bare told the board that district enrollment "had dipped again," with the high school experiencing the largest decrease. The transcript lists enrollment as 1,375 overall, broken down as CMS-266, CVS-207, SUHS-413, MCE-248 and TCE-241. She said the district will make phone calls and investigate why families chose homeschool or online schooling and will reach out early in the new year.
Board members were also informed about recent demographic reporting; the superintendent framed the outreach as an attempt to understand choices families are making and to identify whether district program changes could retain or recover students. No formal policy change or vote was taken at the meeting on enrollment strategy.
