In another sign that the Valley's growth may have plateaued, general enrollment within Clark County's public schools is down 1.31 percent.During this past Friday's "annual census," enrollment levels top 309,573 students, down from the District's projections of 313,688. Last year, the District enrolled 311,240 children.
More from the R-J here.
While funding levels will not necessarily decrease, staff and programs will. And seems to have students and parents grumbling.
R-J:
Durango High School Principal Mark Gums once thought "the worst was over."
But because enrollment has fallen short of expectations, Durango and many other Clark County public schools now face additional program cuts and staff reductions.
In addition to the 13 teaching positions and the theater program that Gums has already sacrificed this school year, he will now have to eliminate five more teaching positions, a counselor and a part-time staff position.
He also is reducing the number of elective classes offered in art, woodworking and choral music.***********************
