Enrollment down about 1.7%; district says funding and staffing will need adjustment
Summary
Business Service Director Tim Belanger reported an overall enrollment decline of 1.7% (1.6% with OTA included), said projections match the Woolpert 2024 midline forecast, and warned funding is tied to enrollment so staffing reductions will be necessary.
Tim Belanger, Business Service Director, presented the district’s Enrollment Report Summary on Oct. 13, 2025. He said overall student enrollment declined 1.7% without OTA and 1.6% with OTA; OTA’s enrollment is flat. Projections align with the middle 2024 Woolpert forecast.
Belanger noted that out-of-district placements have been relatively steady though the severity of individual placement needs has increased. He said capacity is not a near-term issue, which allows the district to focus on the functionality of facilities, and that new housing will feed some schools but is not expected to offset the overall decline. He stated that funding is directly linked to enrollment and the district will need to downsize its budget, most notably staffing, in line with the enrollment decline.
