Grades 2-8 are down approx. 1,500 students from when the same kids were in Grades K-6 in the 2019-2020 school year.  PK-1 enrollments are also down 250 kids each from the 2019-2020 school year.  That doesn't count the projected additions in the PK-1 enrollments during that time.

But this is all "fake news."

I can’t believe this actually needs to be explained to adults, but the reason why the PROJECTIONS are irrelevant now is because all of the pre-covid assumptions and drivers that went into those projections are now irrelevant.

A lot has happened with Covid - beyond what happened with APS.

The PROJECTIONS just completed in February 2019 are so wrong, that APS and the County still used them for budgeting purposes. Plus, the PROJECTIONS are partially based on watching 10+ year trends, by watching senior classes each year be replaced by kindergarten classes of 500-600 kids.  You can do so yourself on APS' enrollment website.  They also look at births too, which are 5+ years in advance.

The post above just identified 2,000 kids who are no longer in the system.  Classes in grades 2-8 don't typically just shrink by 10% from the time they were in grades K-6.

Hilarious how this information is so triggering. It's why you see the last fallback argument above is "f*** those parents who didn't want schools closed."[/quote]
