Extra curricular programs need to be watched closely for numbers vary from year to year which may jeopardize viability of a program.

Anticipated Effects of Demographic Changes On the

Following Academic and Co-curricular Programs

The number of academic classes with small numbers will increase, but at this time no cuts are anticipated. The number of ITV and on-line classes being offered will possibly increase.

The co-curricular programs will have fewer numbers of students participating, but we anticipate dual participation by a greater number of students in more activities as well as additional co-op programs with adjacent districts.

Budgets will dictate in future years if cuts are necessary.

Effects Cont.

Instructional and administrative staffingAs student numbers decline, changes will occur in both instructional and administrative staff members. A balance will need to maintained to ensure that curricular opportunities and student needs are met.

Facility needs and utilizationBoth buildings currently have all spaces fully utilized. There is no extra space in either site.

District tax leviesThe district is limited at this time by the legislature for the maximum general fund levy, and additional levies would need to be approved by the patrons of the district. Keystone pipeline will generate additional mil levy dollars.
