District news
Enrollment falls to 1,142, down 57 students
What happened
The September 18, 2026 count showed 1,142 students, down from 1,199. The number of resident students counted for state funding fell 64 to 873.
Why it matters to families
State aid and the revenue limit follow student counts, so fewer students means less money. Staff said open-enrolled virtual students could leave and cut funding right away.
The evidence
The business manager reported these counts at the October 21, 2026 meeting, as recorded in the video transcript.
