GREEN RIVER During the Sweetwater County School District (SCSD) No. 2 Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday night, Business Manager Chris Dean provided an early budget projection for the upcoming fiscal year.
Since the Wyoming Legislature failed to take action on a bill that would have cut the $300 million deficit in K-12 education the state is facing, the school district is receiving a temporary breather in terms of balancing the budget.
Dean said the Average Daily Membership (ADM), which refers to the average number of students enrolled within a district, has decreased by 180.5 students in one year. She believes 86 of those students transferred to virtual learning, a different district, or are being homeschooled. Though Dean thinks the district will get some of those students back next school year, that still leaves 94 students who have left the area.
