Board hears enrollment drop of 39 students since last budget and flags class‑size and staffing questions
Summary
Officials reported active enrollment down 39 students (1.7%) since last May and in-person enrollment down 61 students (2.7%); board members asked for current class‑size data and analysis of staffing implications and possible reallocation tied to an in‑house cyber initiative.
Administration told the board that total active enrollments have fallen by 39 students since the last budget and that in‑person enrollment has declined by 61 students this year. “Our total active enrollments have gone down by 39 since the last budget was passed since May,” the presentation noted, and officials placed decade‑long losses at about 354 students.
Board members pressed for up‑to‑date class‑size figures for each elementary and high school and asked whether staff can be reallocated if in‑person enrollments continue to decline. Administrators said some students counted as active are placed in out‑of‑district or cyber programs and that any formal staffing changes (furloughs or reductions) would follow policy and would start in September if needed, not during the March budget review.
