A Closer Look At School Enrollment In Madison And Lyme
When it comes to enrollment, parents and community members in Madison and Old Lyme are debating whether its better to see the schools as half empty or half full.
It sounds like youre projecting a really rosy picture based on birthrates, Madison resident Rick Fearon told the superintendent and the Board of Education in a community forum on Nov. 9. While projections show that Madisons student population will increase over the next eight years, Fearon pointed out that the number of children in the district has been on a steady decline.
One might argue irrespective of birth rates, a tax rate that has become sort of stifling has maybe led to this decline, he said.
Another resident, Nancy Harris, had the opposite concern. She said that during the pandemic she had seen many families with young children moving into Madison.
I would be concerned that we are going to move forward with a project that were going to outgrow, said Harris.
The question goes back to the accuracy or inaccuracy of enrollment projections, and what should be done with them. School districts like Madison hire outside professionals who use a combination of factors to predict how many children will fill the classrooms in the next eight to 10 years.
From the outside looking in,, predicting student enrollment can seem less like a science and more like divination.
But at least one parent suggested that the district had overshot in its attempts to bring more young people to the schools.
