What happened

Starting in 2026-27, the Carlsbad Enrichment Center serves only grades 9-12 and moves to the Carlsbad High School campus. It used to serve grades K-12. The board approved this on May 12, 2026.

Why it matters to families

Students in grades K-8 who went to the center need other placements. Enrollment had dropped, and the district says it chose to move the program rather than close it. About 80 students are expected.

The evidence

Signed minutes of the May 12, 2026 meeting give the reasons and say portable classrooms are being remodeled for about $550,000.
