Total 1891 *students who receive special education services beyond Grade 12, starting FY27 will be included in home school’s projections. 1,898 1,865 -33 -1.7 Significant additional FTE resources were added to both high schools from the Educational Stabilization Account to restore reductions made over the past several budget cycles, and to ensure student access to math, science, and engineering core and elective courses. The distribution of these increases in FTE is made in proportion to the size of the schools, their changes in enrollment, and the unmet demand for courses in key academic areas at each school. High class sizes within the Humanities classes, which we had hoped to address in this budget, are not reduced by this budget. The specific allocation of these FTE by the high school department will be driven by FY27 student course enrollments and will be finalized by the leadership team of each high school later this spring. The FY27 budget does, however, continue to provide support for the wide variety of offerings that engage all learners and help them thrive and grow at the high school level and represents level funding when compared to FY26. We expect that the investments of middle school math specialists will impact high school classrooms in future years. Current programmatic efforts to support all learners in a wide variety of activities, programs, courses, and interventions will continue in many areas. Our offerings will continue to include after-school programs, peer tutoring, academic support labs, athletics, legacy scholar programs, and other regular education supports and interventions.
