SBSD Enrollment & Budget Study

SBSD Study: Enrollment Increase & Budget Constraints - Impact on the 26-27 School Year

SBSD_StudyWe are currently assessing the K–5 elementary school configuration. This review includes evaluating the academic program, financial considerations, and projected enrollment—all of which affect space and school capacity. Our goal is to determine whether the existing configuration continues to be the most effective way to deliver a high-quality educational experience. 
With over 2,500 new homes being built—and many already under construction—this is a timely opportunity to take a comprehensive look at what is possible, what is fiscally responsible, and, ultimately, what best serves our students and the community.

SBSD_StudyThe reason we are doing this stems from enrollment and budget challenges, but we can’t sacrifice what’s good for kids.
If we can do better for cheaper, that’s the premise.
