HEADLINES
Mt. View Experiencing Declining Enrollment Declining enrollment forces the school district to evaluate all services provided to students. School district enrollment declined from a high of 1,593 in 1996-1997 to 1,211 for the current 2009-2010 school year. In the near future, the administration will be recommending curtailment of programs for consideration by the Board of Education. At the public meeting held on May 10 the Board of Education voted in favor of a motion that authorizes the Superintendent to take all necessary actions to obtain Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) approval for specific changes in the district’s educational program. This approval is required when school districts propose program changes that could result in staff reductions. According to PDE projections, the enrollment will continue to decline through 2018-2019. At that future date, the enrollment was projected to be 852 for the entire district’s kindergarten through grade twelve programs. These data projections were based on the live birth rate in the school district provided to PDE by the PA Department of Health, Division of Health Services. Dr. Andrew Chichura, Superintendent, stated that we need to look at the district’s current student population and then determine how to utilize current resources to most effectively meet the student needs. Every program has its benefits; these programs were instituted for justifiable reasons. All programs were initiated as a matter of importance at a certain point in time. A need exists to constantly evaluate and re-evaluate the school district goals and the resources available to achieve and accomplish those objectives.
