Huron Expositor, 2016-10-05, Page 16Wednesday, October 5, 2016 • Huron Expositor 17 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, seaforthhuronexpositor.com 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. st AD CECT EXTEND YOUR REACH -ADVERTISE PROVINCIALLY OR ACROSS THE COUNTRY!
