District projects 275-student enrollment decline with about $2.8 million revenue impact
What happened
The district reported a preliminary projection that enrollment will fall by 275 students from last year's count, representing about $2.8 million in revenue implications.
Why it matters to families
If the projection is confirmed in the state's enrollment count, the district will need to account for a substantial recurring funding reduction in future budget planning. The figure is preliminary, not a final certified enrollment count.
The evidence
In the superintendent's Sept. 14, 2026 report, district staff said current projections showed a loss of 275 students and about $2.8 million in revenue impact, while noting that the state had not yet certified the final count.
