Elementary school enrolment is up in Avon Maitland Schools
Justine Alkema
The Avon Maitland Dis-
trict School Board did not
expect the enrolment
numbers that came back
to them at their board
meeting on September 13.
They have 170 more stu-
dents enrolled than they
had projected.
During the first week of
school, the board asks
principals to count how
many students they have
at their school.
In kindergarten this
year, they are around 60
students over their 2016-
2017 estimate. However
Cheri Carter, the Associate
Superintendent of Finan-
cial Services and Treas-
urer at the School Board,
said this is not unusual
since Kindergarten is the
most common grade for
last minute enrolment, so
it's normal to be off
projections.
However it's the 110
other students that are
unusual because these
students are largely in
grades 5-8. It's important
to note too that they are
from out of district; these
numbers represent new-
comers coming in, not
kids switching schools
within the district.
There are no clear con-
clusions yet on why this
has happened.
"The big question is why,"
said Carter. "You can draw
conclusions, but at this
point it's too early to say
this is why they came here."
Since there can still be
moving around in the first
few weeks of school, a final
count will be done on Octo-
ber 31.
In the next few months,
they will be investigating
why this has happened.
Though they are unsure
of the cause at this point,
Carter said, "we really hope
this trend continues. We
are a declining board; we
have been around 12 years."
Though numbers have
been declining each year,
their long-term estimates
predict that they should
eventually stabilize.
This year's numbers may
be a part of that projection,
since it's not that numbers
are 170 students over what
they had last year; they are
170 students over their pro-
jections, and they had pro-
jected a decline in students,

not an increase.
There could be several
reasons for the decline over
the last couple decades,
one being that people are
having less children.
A lot of work goes into
the projections, which
come from each individual
school. Principals look at
their enrolment, students
who are registering and
who are leaving, and make
the projections based off
that.
