[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it matter? A smaller school system would be easier to manage, good riddance. We already have a shortage of space and teachers. [/quote] If there are fewer kids, it will be because many of their families are leaving the city -- shrinking our local tax base and the funding available for education. It's also likely that those left behind will require more resources. I frankly don't believe that there are 20,000 kids missing but I do believe there are thousands of families who had trouble navigating the enrollment process. I'm at a Title 1 school that is overenrolled and has a waiting list. The school staff walked families through registration and offered to do masked home visits if needed. [/quote]
