District Prepares for 2025-26 Enrollment Changes
|
Chief Business Officer Bharathi Lakshmanan presented the latest enrollment projections and school capacity plans. The data shows enrollment will likely decline further in 2025-26 and 2026-27 due to demographic trends and lower birth rates. For 2025-26, the district anticipates 88 fewer students. Despite this decline, schools are ready to accommodate the additional transitional kindergarten (TK) classrooms required for the upcoming school year. See the presentation slides for details.
