[quote=Anonymous]I think your premise may be faulty, but time will tell.

I don't think there's going to be a mass exodus from privates - at least not for this upcoming year. Will some kids leave? Of course, but a few leaving (with a few probably being cleared off of waitlists that will then leave public) does not equate to a mass swelling at the public schools.

We are at a private. As far as I know, none of my kids friends are planning on leaving. I have also spoken casually with several people in the administration over the last week or so and they report that there is no significant (if any?) families that have said they are leaving for public. Of course it may change once the deadline to cancel contracts on June 1st hits. They did however say they are still receiving applications every week for this Fall. It seems there are a number of families disenchanted with the distance learning in their public and are investigating the private route. The general feeling was they are not overly concerned about enrollment at this point.

Now, for '21-22 school year? Who knows. If the economy totally tanks and/or does not recover in a timely manner, you may see more of a pullback in private school enrollments..

Just my 2 cents. [/quote]
