Enrollment is 1,075 students and has fallen every year since 2019

What happened

The superintendent reported 1,075 students enrolled, fewer than last year, with losses between 8th and 9th grade to other high schools, online schools and homeschooling. This is the smallest graduating class in recent history. The board president said enrollment has declined each year since 2019.

Why it matters to families

State funding follows students. The district is held harmless this year and next, then expects to feel the loss.

The evidence

The Sept. 14 minutes record the report and the board discussion. The board proposed a larger conversation about enrollment and programs.
