Principals report 244 enrolled, new preschool and after-school offerings added

A school presenter, identified in the meeting as Miss Frederick, reported current district enrollment of 244 and said the district had "get out of preschool this year" as programs shifted. She told the board the district added Norfork Preschool and an after-school program to encourage families to keep students on campus rather than move to homeschool or the virtual academy.

Miss Frederick said the district has five students enrolled in the high-school Panther Virtual Academy but that some families moved between on-campus, virtual and homeschool options this year. She said new programming targeted multiple grade bands and that the enrollment picture has fluctuated as families make choices about in-person and virtual options.
