Superintendent reports 300‑student enrollment drop; flags budget implications
Summary
Superintendent reported current enrollment of 5,393 versus 5,693 last year (a drop of about 300 students), told the committee the October count will determine next year's budget, and said staff are beginning early budget reconciliation work and outreach to principals.
The superintendent told the school committee the district's enrollment as of the meeting was 5,393 students, down from 5,693 last year — a decline of roughly 300 students that officials said will have budget consequences.
"Our enrollment numbers as of today are 5,393, when last year we were at 5,693. So it's a 300 student drop," the superintendent said, and added the district is reconciling personnel and budget entries early to prepare for reductions if necessary. The superintendent said principals were contacted immediately to begin reconciling staff positions and FTEs with payroll systems and that October's official enrollment count will be critical to final budget calculations for fiscal year 2027.
