This month, BVSD continued efforts to monitor, evaluate, and respond to declining enrollment in the district. At a recent Board meeting, staff presented the Annual Trend Report which looks at enrollment at individual schools and whether action needs to be taken. Although enrollment continued to decline for the 2024-25 school year, losses were less than anticipated, and no new action was triggered for individual schools. The Board also got a preview of a new data visualization tool intended to make enrollment data more understandable and transparent.  The data dashboard will be particularly valuable as the Board moves forward with reviewing elementary school attendance boundaries and considers whether to make changes.
