Echo SD 5 superintendent reports enrollment rise driven by kindergarten
Summary
Superintendent reported enrollment is up overall, primarily due to a rise in kindergarten enrollment (reported as up six students); junior and sophomore cohorts are slightly smaller, and staff will monitor class-size goals.
Superintendent (S4) gave an enrollment update, telling the board that overall numbers are "still consistent" but that the increase this year is concentrated in kindergarten. "Our influx is mainly at that kindergarten... we're up 6 kindergartners," he said. He noted the district graduated a small senior class and is working to keep class sizes near target levels.
The superintendent said that on a class-by-class analysis some cohorts are up while others are down — for example a junior class was up one from its prior-year size while sophomore and junior cohorts showed minor declines — and that staff will continue efforts to manage class-size targets. He also reported that middle-school mobility could change the numbers in the short term.
