Elementary Education Staffing Changes Elementary enrollment is projected at 4,644 students, a decrease of 102 students. Most schools are expected to experience modest declines, with only four schools decreasing by more than 10 students and Pierce the only school increasing by more than 10. The budget provides 243 classrooms plus 2 FTE teachers in reserve, reflecting reduced staffing while maintaining favorable districtwide average class sizes. Budget constraints, however, mean more classes will operate near the upper end of typical class-size targets. Secondary Education Staffing Changes Staffing adjustments reflect changing enrollment while prioritizing stability and implementation of MTSS and differentiated math supports. Middle school enrollment is projected to increase by 35 students, driven primarily by growth at Bigelow, while high school enrollment is projected to decrease by 50 students. Educational Stabilization Account funding will help preserve access to math, science, and engineering courses at the high schools, although financial constraints limit the district’s ability to similarly reduce class sizes in the humanities.
