The John Glenn School Board members may need to make a decision to add to their facilities if enrollment numbers keep trending in an upward fashion.
The school board members discussed enrollment and transfers in a work session Tuesday night. According to Recording Secretary Lisa Sleek, they reviewed data from the past five or six years and found that enrollment increases 1.5 percent each school year. They analyzed classroom size per building and the number of students per class. The discussion included function and capacity at each school with the numbers they are working with and what the corporation could see in a few years.
If the student population continues to grow, there may be action to add on to the school facilities to accommodate the increase.
As of Sept. 15, the official ADM count at the John Glenn School Corporation was 1,928.
Another student count is set for Thursday, Feb. 1, but that does not count toward any additional funding if there are more students enrolled at the corporation.
The board members did not make any decisions during their work session, but may continue discussion during their next meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
